I will have to say, that rtrmon is one of the best tools that we have for management of our routers. Simple, elegant, hard to port to non BSD, does all kinds of routine tasks easy.
Does anyone know where I can get ahold of some sort of script that querys the routers via SNMP that shows the running configs on them? I want to have a web based interface that ONLY shows the running configs. I am aware of the built in http server that is on the routers, but I would rather do it via SNMP . Any information would be appreciated.
I know someone said it can be done with SNMP but we don't do it that way here.

that's nice to hear. and did i mention that it does not require clear text router passwords to be stored in the file system like some tools i know of?

re: hard to port. well, the folks here who write that kind of code are periodically available and if i could find more companies like genuity who are willing to fund work like rtrmon and vulture (which means: isp tools which help everybody but are not competitive advantages and which can therefore be freely redistributable even though someone had to pay to implement them) i would certainly have had someone port rtrmon to, say, solaris and NT by now.
Paul, et. al., We use RTRMON here and like it a lot too. Of course, nothing is perfect, but it does a lot of kewl stuff we use daily.

We had it working here on Linux originally, although we now have it on FreeBSD. I believe it is all PERL code and our in-house coder claims this should be easy to port to just about anything. He claims the only external calls are made to PGP, which should be available on just about anything you'd want to run. Of course, I'm not a big PERL weenie, so maybe I'm way off base, but that's what I'm told. TTFN, patrick ************************************************************** Patrick W.
