Re: Config files To XML

Look how short your configs are! What do you win by using XML (other than the joy of discovery)? The pancho suggestion is good. Since you are obviously already a heavy duty do-it-yourselfer:) you could use that. In the past I have kept all my router + switch configs in Subversion, and scripted something to keep TFTP dirs synched up for deployment.. I had 4 or 5 different classes of equipment including Cisco CSS. Or maybe - you have hundreds of nodes to manage... and it makes sense to standardize?

I can assure you that I deal with large configs of 5 to 20Meg in text format which is quite large. As I said, I'm seeking for possible advantages that the so popular XML format would possibly provide. To the point I am now and with all your excellent advises, I am stil not convinced of the benefits of XML for this task...	[reply]
