Rutgers uses Voyence Control, now called EMC Ionix Network Configuration Manager. In my previous life as part of the network operations group everyone was extremely happy with it. As far as I know that group is still very happy with it under it's new cooperate ownership. It is much more than just a monitoring/auditing tool though- you can use it to build full configuration files and automate the deployment of changes. It does a very good job of monitoring for changes using both SNMP traps to monitor for them as well as device polling to check the actual config in case a trap was missed. You can diff changes between version and see who modified things. It can be used to audit the presence/absence of specific settings and even automatically modify the config in response. It's multi-file aware too for those cisco devices (and others) which store settings in multiple places (say for the VLAN database...) ----- "Kevin Halgren" <kevin.halgren () WASHBURN EDU> wrote:
