Hi Nanogers,

Any recommendation about a software which check the live config of cisco/juniper devices against some templates ?

The goal is to have a template about different function device, like:
- CORE device must have this bloc and this clock
- PE device must have at least that and that
- CPE must have this and that
- Distrib switch block 1 and block2
- etc...

And the software run once every day to check which device do not comply with those rules and generate an alert.

Thank,

We implemented an in-house solution using Cisco Template Manager (http://www.gelogic.net/cisco-template-manager/). Its 
basically a bunch of bash/perl scripts doing regex matching against the saved configs from RANCID. Works fine for both 
Cisco and Juniper.

It requires some hand tooling, but we have it doing exactly what you want (checking against different device function 
templates).
