Aside from rancid, what methods do people have for doing automated backups and diffing of router configs ?
There are some commercial config management products that provide similar.. Use search engines with keywords such as router / network configuration and auditing tools. Configuration and change management is a common problem, and CM auditing requires tools for pulling, archiving, and comparing network device configurations to detect changes and anomolies, so there are _plenty_ of options. Some routers provide options for remote SCP or FTP access, then it's just a matter of using your favorite mass download tool. Check your device documentation. A popular router brand also recently had an archive function added not too long ago. That lets you auto-scp new configs with something simple like.... ! archive path scp://blahblah:blahblahblahblah@configbackup.my.example.com write-memory maximum 14 time-period 1440 log config record rc logging enable hidekeys notify syslog contenttype plaintext Regards, -- -JH
