lexicon/netclarity - www.network-clarity.com - young, only cisco ios/catos devices right now, easy to tailor to your change management process, working on policy compliance auditing truecontrol - www.renditionnetworks.com - no juniper support yet, less flexible change process flow, can/will act as central access point for device access (will proxy ssh/telnet/etc based upon your login credentials), decent config/policy compliance auditing and reporting capabilities formulator - www.goldwiretech.com - more mature than truecontrol, more devices supported (including some servers), robust compliance auditing/reporting features and last, but not least, rancid - www.shrubbery.net/rancid/ - support for lots of devices (and easy to add more with a little expect knowledge), easily extended (perl, expect, awk, shell, etc), FREE - for more on what you can do see: http://www.shrubbery.net/rancid/NANOG29/index.html http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0210/abley.html i am using/have used rancid, and am evaluating the others hth /joshua -- Fixing Unix is easier than living with NT.
