[rancid] Re: Rancid - High CPU on PE's and CE's

[Shane Haslem]

Hi John,
Can you advise how to decrease the number of commands to just ' show
running-config'.  In otherwards, where I find the commands that are run
and remove redundant ones from the config.
thanks

sure, some commands consume cpu, whether run by rancid or a user.  show
run

generation
of the output, nothing else, that is costly for the router.  if you want
to
limit it, collect less frequently.
