I've had quite a bit of experience with config management tools and have written some myself many years ago as did probably others due to the at the time lack of such things. However, many vendors are providing thrid-party solutions. The one I've seen that seems most suited to an ISP environment is GoldWire although to be honest, I have not really looked in-depth into such products for almost a year now so there might be others. -- /*===================[ Jake Khuon <[email protected]> ]======================+ | Packet Plumber, Network Engineers /| / [~ [~ |) | | --------------- | | for Effective Bandwidth Utilisation / |/ [_ [_ |) |_| N E T W O R K S | +=========================================================================*/
