I am looking for a bit of advice around configuration backup /
inventory. We
currently have a large multi-vendor network which is currently managed through two separate tools (rancid - http://www.shrubbery.net/rancid
and ns4
- http://www.noodles.org.uk/ns4.html). Both tools do the job very
well, but
management have asked that we look for commercial alternatives that
have a
proper support organisation looking after them.
Since rtrmon waned and rancid waxed (97ish?), I've been a proponent and seen no support issues. Lots of commercial offerings (mostly vendor- specific) have changed or were from companies which folded between then and now. A non-trivial track record speaks volumes. [snip]
things about it. We are looking for a tool which is flexible that
allows
configuration backup to textual form for easy restoration as well as
the
ability to deploy scripted changes to the network quickly.
Sounds like rancid & par to me. :-) Cheers, Joe -- RSUC / GweepNet / Spunk / FnB / Usenix / SAGE
