Design goals

ACLHound is designed to assist humans in managing hundreds of ACLs across tens of devices. One key focus point is maximum re-usability of ACL components such as groups of hosts, groups of ports and the policies themselves.

Supported devices

• Cisco ASA

  • No support for ASA 9.1.2 or higher (yet)

• Cisco IOS

  • Will autodetect IPv6 support through `show ipv6 cef`

• Juniper (planned)

Installation notes

Step 1: get the code

` sudo pip install aclhound `
