[rancid] End of config in Extreme Switches

[Aleksey P]

Thanks for the answer. But as I said - after vsm module we have config
lines (different for each switch). Like this:
"#
# Module vsm configuration.
#
create mlag peer "E670-DL-AGG-1"
configure mlag peer "E670-DL-AGG-1" ipaddress <IP> vr VR-Default
enable mlag port 1 peer "E670-DL-AGG-1" id 1
enable mlag port 2 peer "E670-DL-AGG-1" id 2
enable mlag port 3 peer "E670-DL-AGG-1" id 3
enable mlag port 4 peer "E670-DL-AGG-1" id 4
enable mlag port 5 peer "E670-DL-AGG-1" id 5
enable mlag port 6 peer "E670-DL-AGG-1" id 6
enable mlag port 17 peer "E670-DL-AGG-1" id 17
enable mlag port 19 peer "E670-DL-AGG-1" id 19
enable mlag port 20 peer "E670-DL-AGG-1" id 20
enable mlag port 32 peer "E670-DL-AGG-1" id 32
enable mlag port 33 peer "E670-DL-AGG-1" id 33
enable mlag port 34 peer "E670-DL-AGG-1" id 34
enable mlag port 35 peer "E670-DL-AGG-1" id 35
enable mlag port 36 peer "E670-DL-AGG-1" id 36
enable mlag port 38 peer "E670-DL-AGG-1" id 38
enable mlag port 40 peer "E670-DL-AGG-1" id 40
enable mlag port 44 peer "E670-DL-AGG-1" id 44 "

and its very sad that we can't save this config.
