Subject: [SECURITY] Windows GUI diff software with masking capability?
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.
