Hello.

You could create a rule like my screenshot shows in order to look for specific strings in your config lines:

Would that work for you?

Best regards,

This would do the trick, except Ive never seen that screen. This is the config change template... where can I find that tool you demonstrated?

That is part of the "Compliance". With config change templates we would be up-/downloading configurations and execute commands via ssh connection in order to run scripts.

When you want to check you configs to make sure they look like you expect or to make sure they don't have telnet enable or anything like that, you would run compliance checks. There is a shortcut under Dashboard -> Configs -> Compliance

Or you can go there via All Settings -> NCM Settings -> Manage Policy Reports

You'll find 1780 rules that you can use and you can manually add more yourself

Usually a few rules are bundled within a policy. And a report can consist of multiple policies.

Take a look on a pre-configured report to see how it looks like and try to edit one to get a feeling of how it works.

(Are you currently testing the Network Configuration Manager or do you already own it?)

Good luck & best regards,

Steffen

Thank you for the clarification. I bought NPM and NCM back in February. Still trying to figure out how to use it to its full extent, best practices and all that.

Thanks again,
