[rancid] Re: Run a command in all the routers

[Chris Stave]

I've had good luck with scripts calling clogin, my devices are sequentially
addressed, so a simple loop takes care of them all for me.  It doesn't
matter so much that they're in router.db as that they are in .cloginrc.  As
far as using router.db files to determine which devices get the command
issued, it's a little tougher.  If it is something that you're going to use
a lot, you could write a script for each grouping.  Below is my script to
connect to everything between 10.2.1.1 and 10.2.1.50 and run the commands in
cmds.txt

for ((  i = 1 ;  i <= 50;  i++  ))
do
 /home/rancid/bin/clogin -x /home/rancid/cmds.txt 10.2.1.$i
done

then you can edit cmds.txt to contain whatever commands you would like to
send, currently my cmds.txt contains:

show cdp ent *
exit


Good luck!
