Want all misconfigurations..

Hi,

I am a network administrator. I would like to write some administrator script which connects to each switch/router in my network and finds mis-configurations from them. I am using HPProCurve Switches in my network.

So, I would like to know all possible mis-configurations in the switches those normally happens to the administrtors. Please let me know if you any good documents about switch mis-configurations list or possible mis-configurations you found.

Thanks in advance. Once I finish my scripting I would like to provide it for free to network administrators community.

Thanks a lot..

with Regards,
Kevin Mobe.

Hi developer007,
The most common are things like speed/duplex mismatches. It is not something you can just search for as it depends how the equipment the other end of the cable is configured.

Hi,

Thanks for the information.

Thats right. I can't just find in checking one device configuration file. I must need to check all corresponding device information which are interconnected. even I want to check like that.

I am gonna to write a script in PERL with SNMP configuration and telnet. So, If I have all the mis-configurations in place then I can start writing the script file.

Please let me know if you know any possible mis-configurations.

With Regards,
Kevin.
