Windows GUI diff software with masking capability?

["Youngquist, Jason R." <jryoungquist () CCIS EDU>]

I've done some googling, and so far I haven't found what I'm looking
for.  We have created a standard router template for all of our remote
campus routers.  What I'd like to be able to do is compare the router
template with the config from a router.  The issue is that there are
going to be a number of items such IP addresses, hostnames, etc. that
will be different between the two configuration files.  What I would
like is the ability to "mask out" these differences in the router
template, so differences in configuration will more easily stand out.
Does such a program exist?

 

 

For example:

Remote router:

 

Router Template:

version 12.3

no service pad

 -----------------                            

service tcp-keepalives-ou

service timestamps debug datetime msec show-timezone

service timestamps log datetime msec show-timezone

service password-encryption

......

no ip dhcp use 

ip dhcp excluded-address 10.159.1.100 10.159.1.254

ip dhcp excluded-address 10.159.65.200 10.159.65.254

 

version 12.4

no service pad

service tcp-keepalives-in

service tcp-keepalives-out

service timestamps debug datetime msec show-timezone

service timestamps log datetime msec show-timezone

service password-encryption

...

no ip dhcp use vrf connected

ip dhcp excluded-address xx.xxx.x.xxx xx.xxx.x.xxx

ip dhcp excluded-address xx.xxx.xx.xxx xx.xxx.xx.xxx

 

 

Thanks.
