[rancid] Netgear switches in 2023 (or 2024)

[on at LEFerguson.com]

I have several clients for whom I use rancid and they are all cisco.

I have one who had a horrible mixture of D-Link, Cisco, Netgear, etc.  Over years I modified, kludged, hacked and re-kludged rancid trying to make it workable.

I'd like to bring them up to date, and honestly between legit changes from upstream and my mess I just want to start over.  Also, they got rid of the 'etc' and D-Link and now just have half Netgear and half Cisco.  The Netgear allows SSH and does a semi-similar show to ciscos, just... different.

In some brief consultation with Google I found little, stumbled on where I had asked about this 6 years or so ago.

Does anyone have workable configs for modern netgear stuff (the ones with real configs and current firmware, not all the home stuff)?   My priority is that it not include changes that preclude easy upgrade of rancid, otherwise I'm going to tell them to stay on the old, or not do change control on Netgear.

I just did a clean install on my home system, and I see nothing new in that regard, though more robust filters, etc. might actually make it practical with a different vendor's name.
