Something I have noticed is that for all my Nexus devices (7K, 5K, 4K) none of
them have the 'RANCID-CONTENT-TYPE' of 'cisco-nx' but rather plain old 'cisco'.
Could this be the reason behind the my problem ? And even if not, why would
Rancid not be using cisco-nx automagically ? Or do I have to set it manually ?
