What steps are necessary to monitor Dell switches? Download drancid, dlogin and put them in /opt/local/libexec/rancid with other rancid executables, then what? Update router.db and specify a device as a 'dell' instead of 'cisco' or 'juniper' <br>
<br>Is that basically it?<br><blockquote style="margin: 1.5em 0pt;"></blockquote><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Aug 14, 2009 at 9:45 PM, Jeremy Singletary <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jeremys@rickyninja.net">jeremys@rickyninja.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

in newer Dells. Download this version of dlogin, and let us know if it<br>
resolves the issue.<br>
