RE: Intelligent Automation of network tasks

["Hannigan, Martin" <hannigan () verisign com>]

Call me sentimental, but I was using/making my previous staff
use rtrmon in the absence of big OSS systems. I believe it's
still up at ISC somewhere. I can't remember if it has a 
"glob all" function. I do remember it would probably be easy
enough to integrate.

        it's not just in 12.3T, it's also in 12.2S..

        on your juniper, try something like "config, load override"
