Hope you can help me.

Thank you in advance.

Hi @Analyst 

Bug scrubbing is basically the action of going through the list of bugs/vulnerabilities/cves/field notices for a particular software release and filter them out based on the features used in the network and finally report all the possible bugs which might impact the device/network.

There are tools available which can make this bug scrubbing for your network, however, as all services, these cost money. If you are interested, check out with your local Cisco representative and they will give you more details.

Some of the tools specific to DC networks are network insights (NIR and NIA) https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/data-center-analytics/network-insights-data-center/series.html 

 

If you are interested in 'free' alternatives, you have this options:

1. Manual check of the release notes for the running version, and read the open caveats. This is the list of bugs affecting the current version. Ofc you will need to assert if the bug can affect or not your device based on running version.

2. Bug search tool: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/web/tools/bst/bsthelp/index.html  - here you can filter bugs based on keywords (features), version, platform etc.

3. Create your custom in-house tool for bug scrubbing using open APIs:

Stay safe,

Sergiu
