Is there a way to do this? (Check for multiple instances of something based on config)

I want to do something like this. Its common in a config to have something like this

line vty 0 4

transport input ssh

line vty 5 15

transport input ssh

And to be honest, there could be up to 15 instances of this if you happened to configure each VTY slightly different. But, what I want to do is for each instance of a VTY to be able to check and make sure that there is a corresponding "transport input ssh" and I might want to do this for other attributes too. Like lets say for every interface that trunking is turned on to make sure portfast it turned off.

Just curious if there was some mechanism to handle things like this or not?

Hi Cnorborg - this is something we're working on currently. I'll send you a note offline - I can show you where we are on the feature - I'd appreciate your input.

Hi Christineb - Can you give a bit of a hint if this functionality is expected to appear in 6.0?

Thanks,

Hi Bob - it's not in 6.0, however, we are working on it now. I'm going to update the "What we're working on" as soon as we GA with 6.0.

That's very disappointing, I had high hopes that it would make the cut.

I am very happy with the NPM product, but have to admit that the compliance checking piece was one of the reasons we purchased NCM.

I hate to be harsh, but truthfully at this point I would say that compliance checking is not functional within NCM, or basic functionality is not available for a network of any substantial size.

We will continue to have to rely upon another vendor's product until the functionality is availble.

Sadly,

what's the status for this feature request?

Same situation for the requirement to check multiple occurrence in interfaces:

interface a/b

no ip proxy-arp

interface c/d

no ip proxy-arp

interface e/f

(proxy-arp is present here)

Is it possible now to create rules/policies for multiple occurrence of a command in configurations?

thanks

Aah, now I found it- it's there in the Rules under "Advanced config search" to check against config blocks like interfaces.
