Gentlemen (and Ren!): ;-)
I'm currently investigating options w.r.t. enterprise-wide (over 250 device, and by 'device' i mean router and/or switch) configuration management (and (ideally) compliance-auditing_and_assurance) software.
We currently use Voyence (now EMC) and are looking into other options for various reasons, support being in the top-3 ...
So, I pose: To you operators of multi-hundred-device networks : what do you use for such purposes(*) ? (*)see subject
We have several thousand network devices currently in play: mpetach@nowherespecial:/tftp/conf/latest> ls *.conf | wc -l 7419 mpetach@nowherespecial:/tftp/conf/latest> I hand read each device configuration check-in email that goes past to see if there's errors in the configs, security violations, or other WTF-ish elements in the config check-in, and mail back a nag notice to the person who changed the config. Currently, I received between 1900 and 3000 email messages a day. I sleep 3 hours a night.
