RE: Cisco config checker

for two+ years, i have been asking cisco for a simple text-based tool that can take two configs and generate the command set to get from the first to the second. i.e. a semantic differ. as syntax (and occasionally semantics) changes release to release, a version of the code would have to come with each image set. note that this would go a way to compete with the really nice behavior of gated-like systems, e.g. juniper, which, when given a new configuration, does not thrash all your bgp sessions etc., but slides smoothly to the new state. randy
