USE NCM information like devicetype and SW-Version in compliance Rules

It would be very helpful to have access to SW-Version and Device Types to overcome the problem of changing command syntax in different sw versions / device types.

IF SW-Version < 15.0 and OS-Type like('C2960S%') then

config findstring = 'ip vrf test'

else

config findstring = 'vrf definition test'

end if

This suggest makes great sense to me. I keep a template of our basic configurations, as well as a complex Excel-based "Configurator" that allows my team to enter in many different variables to build access switches, distribution switches, routers, firewalls, etc., and it's very obvious when syntax changes between versions or hardware platforms.

Sometimes it's as simple as the new IOS-XE version not requiring a hyphen between two words, while that same hyphen is mandator an older version of code.

Being able to get around this issue of seemingly miniscule details would make the difference between getting the job done right the first time, and having to continually edit templates and make new kluges as IOS changes syntax, or as hardware platforms and their capabilities change.
