Find Unique Interface Configs on Switches

Recently I needed to find all of the interfaces with non-standard configurations on a bunch of Catalyst 3750 switches. I wrote a simple Python script to automate the process. To run this, save it in a directory with all of the configurations you want to check. Then edit the name.startswith() section near the bottom to match the naming convention for your config files; in my case all of my configs start with "c3750". Then run the script from your CLI:

>python dup_conf.py

If you're on a Mac or Linux system, Python should be installed by default. On Windows, you'll need to install it or run Cygwin. Note that in the default version, the script ignores SVIs and Gigabit interfaces; uncomment the appropriate lines to include them.

The output looks like this:


in config file c3750-1A.txt

You could also substitute something like this, and list the files to check on the command line:

filenames = [sys.argv[1:]]

Yeah, I thought about that but all my files were already named with a consistent pattern so I just embedded it into the script. For anyone who wants to use Mike's suggestion, just remember to add "import sys" at the top.

It's great that you are telling us about these things.
