ciscoconfr(8)		    System Manager's Manual		 ciscoconfr(8)

NAME
       ciscoconfr

SYNOPSIS
       ciscoconfr router log-entry

AVAILABILITY
       This  program has been installed	successfully on	FreeBSD	2.2.6-RELEASE,
       Linux RedHat 4.2, Solaris 2.5.1,	IRIX 5.3 and HP/UX 10.20. Feedback re-
       garding other platforms is welcome.

DESCRIPTION
       ciscoconfr will	retrieve  configuration	 from  a  Cisco	 router	 using
       rsh(1), and store it under RCS source control in	the directory /usr/lo-
       cal/share/cisco	(this  directory was specified on this host at install
       time).

       Blank lines, comments and other garbage are automagically  pruned  from
       the router configuration	to prevent unnecessary RCS deltas being	formed
       from insignificant changes.

       ciscoconfr  is  intended	 to  be	 run automatically by ciscoconfd(8) to
       maintain	a configuration	history	for multiple routers.

       Parameters for ciscoconfr are as	follows:

       router		A router's host	name in	a format suitable to be	passed
			to rsh(1)

       log-entry	A log entry to	provide	 supporting  information  when
			checking the changed configuration in using ci(1)

ROUTER CONFIGURATION
       The user	which ciscologr	runs as	must be	permitted to issue enable com-
       mands  to routers using rsh(1).	To allow this to happen, some configu-
       ration of the appropriate routers is necessary. The  following  example
       allows the user "jabley"	to issue enable-mode commands via rsh from the
       host 203.97.2.226:

       ip rcmd rsh-enable

       ip rcmd remote-host jabley 203.97.2.226 jabley enable

SECURITY
       Warning!	  Do  not type these commands into your	router without a thor-
       ough understanding of the security implications for your	network.

VERSION
       1.00 (6 Apr 1998)

       More  recent  versions  may  be	available;  check   for	  details   at
       http://www.patho.gen.nz/~jabley/

BUGS
       If  a  router's non-volatile RAM	is otherwise engaged (e.g. by a	"write
       mem" issued by an operator, or by a slave-sync in units	with  multiple
       route  processors), the configuration retrieved from the	router will be
       the single line `Non-Volatile memory is in use' .

       This should only	happen infrequently as long as ciscologr(8) is not run
       so often	that the instinctive post-configuration	"write mem" is	always
       caught.

       Frequency  of  running ciscologr	can be reduced by sensible application
       of the -t parameter to ciscologd(8).
