Hi All
We are using NCM to audit configurations of various cisco devices on the network... We have basic config templates built, which would be compared to provide exceptions. Now, we know, each device has its own limitation , based on the device model/IOS etc.. With a base configuration, NCM throws large number of non-compliance reports for commands compared against..
my question is - isnt NCM intelligent enough to compare the configurations based on the hardware, ios etc by itself ? Are there any patches/modules etc available for us to upload to NCM, to do this funcationality automatically ? Issue is we have thousands of devices and we are creating thousands of exceptions each day to get the non-compliance solved !
eg - snmp-server enable trap ospf command is not available on some devices like 3550 (with IOS less than 12.2(25) SE). Now, we manually create a ruleset to exempt this from audit, but there are many rules like this which has to be checked against.
As far as I know, its not possible, but just thought of giving a shout out !
