Overview

This project illustrates a proof of concept for how you can use a combination of pytest and ciscoconfparse to build robust tests for your router, switch, and firewall configurations.

The src/ directory is where audits are defined. We use pytest to audit configurations based on test definitions and the framework defined in:

• conftest.py: Defines how tests are run, and what parameters are passed to tests
• test_*.py: Define individual config tests, which could either run per-router, or per-interface

The configurations for the test are in the configs/ directory

Installation

• Copy or clone this repository
• Install ciscoconfparse, pip install --upgrade ciscoconfparse
• Install pytest, pip install --upgrade pytest==2.4.6

Running demo tests

• cd src/
• Run one test against all configs: py.test --device [config-file-name] [name-of-test]
• Run one test against one of the configs: py.test --device [config-file-name] [name-of-test]
