Re: network policy checking

Hi,

I've worked on OPNET SP Sentinel / IT Sentinel, which is Cisco's co-branded CAS(Cisco Assurance Service) tool. It's 
commercial tool which can audit your network element with preset rules. These rules are also customizable. 

You check further on their web site.

Hi Sony, 

Could you give some examples of specific routers and firewalls you're
looking to check, and what an example "network policy" issues you're
interested in?  It might help focus down some of the recommendations.
