Steps to add/remove from Rancid

Adding/removing routers …

Go to https://gitlab.geant.net/puppet-apps/rancid

Go to Rancid Project and then select test branch (https://gitlab.geant.net/puppet-apps/rancid/tree/test)

Go to files -> rancid > router.db / (https://gitlab.geant.net/puppet-apps/rancid/-/blob/test/files/rancid/router.db) This is a config file, since there is no source code; this is the quick way of adding/removing routers

Click the “Edit” button, add/remove the router as provided by Anura/implementation team or any other team (i.e. rt1.tal.ee.geant.net:juniper:up).

Then scroll down to "Commit message" (add OTRS ticket number) and then click "Commit changes"

Then, ask DevOPs (Max, Warren) to merge the test branch with UAT and Production. As Raise an IT support ticket, asking the DevOps team to push the puppet configuration to through test, uat and production. As this is a standard change, it can be pushed straight to production.

In the meantime the Operations Centre need to add a special SSH user on the network device, to enable Rancid to connect to the device and retrieve the configuration informationLastly, confirm with the user/ticket reporter after 30 minutes and ask whether we can close the ticket

To verify the change, check the router.db file on the production server:

...

In addition a new row should exist in the directory list for the new router: https://prod-rancid.geant.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/GEANT/configs/
