    Do you manage a Cisco Nexus with large configs?

      As posted here, I'm looking for some large Cisco Nexus configs.  Configured ACLs are desirable but not a hard requirement.  We created an automated anonymize to make it a little bit easier to scrub them: https://downloads.solarwinds.com/solarwinds/Release/OrionNCM/Anonymizer-v1.0.zip

       

      These will be useful for both NPM and NCM.  Sometimes, for example with ASA, we have to understand the configuration of a device to poll it properly.  If you're interested in helping, grab your full configs, run them through the automatic anonymizer, and do a final manual pass to confirm you're happy and anonymize any remaining values.

       

      The configs can be securely uploaded here: https://Share.SolarWinds.com/?ShareToken=03F4D04CFCF2C2600BA651B9A7679F5496A53E56

       

      Let me know if you have any questions.  And thanks!

          THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE TO MAGAE A CISCO NEXUS IS

          a) Key benefits

          • Simplifies fabric management using a point-and-click user interface
          • Automates fabric bring-up and ongoing fabric management tasks through a scalable engine
          • Manages the fabric as one entity, without need for switch-by-switch command-line interface (CLI) actions
          • A live, actionable topology view allows users to complete management workflows without focusing on network protocols
          • Seamlessly add new switches in the fabric, as well as replace switches

          b) Key benefits

          • Auto Fabric provisioning of switches using Cisco NX-OS Power-On Auto-Provisioning
          • Automated snapshots and rollback of switch and fabric configurations
          • Fully creates and manages a VXLAN–based topology using a standards-based Border Gateway Protocol-Ethernet VPN (BGP-EVPN) control plane
          • Detects and repairs fabric faults using a Fabric-aware control engine

          c) Specific Glance

          • Simplifies fabric management using a point-and-click web interface
          • Supports Cisco Nexus 9500, 9300, and 9200 Series Switches in Cisco NX-OS mode
          • Easy to install and distributed in a Cisco Open Virtual Appliance
          • Uses a standards-based VXLAN with Border Gateway Protocol-Ethernet VPN (BGP-EVPN) to manage the fabric
          • Seamlessly scales fabric
          • Automates configuration snapshots, rollbacks, and Cisco NX-OS image upgrades
