There are 4 commercially available products I know of that will do off-line router configurations:
And there are also some free ones. RtConfig (http://www.isi.edu/ra/RAToolSet) is being used to configure many small and large ISP routers. (I could not resist to advertise a "free" product.)
1. CiscoWorks 2. Cisco ConfigMaker 3. Go Figure! (for Palm Pilots) 4. RouterAssistant
The caveat here is that these products probably won't handle the "industrial strength" configuration parameters that would be required in an ISP environment and also have limited platform support. They might be worth a look, though, since some can also help with configuration management tasks.
If you're interested, you can find links to them in the IOS section of my web page: http://www.clark.net/pub/rbenn/cisco.html#ios-config

Is there such a thing as a Cisco config checker, to allow off-line editing of Cisco configs and check them before they're uploaded to the router? Preferrably something that could be used in a Web/Unix environment as a filter.
If not, does anyone know of a source for a complete definition of Cisco configuration language, in some kind of standardized format, so I could possibly generate a config-checker myself?
Thanks. Pete.
