I knocked something like this out for a company I worked for a while back, but I don't think they want to release the code. However, I could write a script that did something similar in a relatively short amount of time, given the criteria you're checking for. The script parsed a cisco config for gloabal services turned off/on (ip finger, tcp-small-servers), required interface commands, BGP/OSP router setups, and a few other things, kind of like a lint for Cisco. Writing a multi-purpose beast to handle just any generic cisco config you throw at it would probably be a pain, which is probably why it hasn't been done yet, outside of the limited tools from Cisco. > I've searched around the web and dug through the nanog > archives (mostly to find there are few things, none of which > match my current needs, and lots of people saying they > need what I'm asking for and more). > > If anybody has pointers for the above, they're much > appreciated. __ Joseph Shaw
