Subject: [SECURITY] Windows GUI diff software with masking capability?



I've done some googling, and so far I haven't found what I'm looking for.
We have created a standard router template for all of our remote campus
routers.  What I'd like to be able to do is compare the router template with
the config from a router.  The issue is that there are going to be a number
of items such IP addresses, hostnames, etc. that will be different between
the two configuration files.  What I would like is the ability to "mask out"
these differences in the router template, so differences in configuration
will more easily stand out.  Does such a program exist?





For example:


Remote router:



Router Template:


version 12.3

no service pad

 -----------------

service tcp-keepalives-ou

service timestamps debug datetime msec show-timezone

service timestamps log datetime msec show-timezone

service password-encryption

..

no ip dhcp use

ip dhcp excluded-address 10.159.1.100 10.159.1.254

ip dhcp excluded-address 10.159.65.200 10.159.65.254



version 12.4

no service pad

service tcp-keepalives-in

service tcp-keepalives-out

service timestamps debug datetime msec show-timezone

service timestamps log datetime msec show-timezone

service password-encryption

.

no ip dhcp use vrf connected

ip dhcp excluded-address xx.xxx.x.xxx xx.xxx.x.xxx

ip dhcp excluded-address xx.xxx.xx.xxx xx.xxx.xx.xxx





Thanks.
