How do I validate configurations in our environment to ensure consistency.

Can anyone advise if there is a way to validate a base configuration to other like devices to ensure compliance and our standards are being followed.

For example, I have a device or model that I would like to ensure all other devices are identical such as

• Logging
• AAA/TACACS
• ACL’s
• NTP

My approach, which doesn’t seem to be working was Create a Parser to capture Configuration for text fields that I would like to ensure are consistent. Create a NI for prior fields that need to match. Created a specific test group for selected devices.

However, when I run the NI, it only compares the fields that I selected to the previous baseline for the device, not the device I want it to model.

Any advise or direction appreciated. Thanks.
