Method and apparatus for network wide policy-based analysis of configurations of devices
TLDR
In this article, the authors present a method and an apparatus for analyzing a network configuration against a corporate network policy and determining violation(s) against the corporate network policies and adding an entry to its final report each time that it detects a violation against the network policy in the network configuration model.Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for analyzing a network configuration against a corporate network policy and determining violation(s) against the corporate network policy. A report indicating the violation(s) can be generated indicating instances of the violation(s). An analysis platform reads in a network policy. The analysis platform collects configuration files from the relevant network devices in the network and builds up an internal instance of a network configuration model based on the configuration files and the network topology. The analysis platform analyzes this network configuration model according to the network policy and adds an entry to its final report each time that it detects a violation against the network policy in the network configuration model. The data in the entries pinpoints the cause of the deviation(s) from the network policy.read more
