Simple Network Command

A short script to automate changes to multiple devices. Useful for quick changes when a another management tool may be overkill.

networkcommand

To use this script:
Two supporting files are required with a list of commands and devices.

• file: "cmdlist" containing list of command(s)
• file: "devicelist" containing list of device(s)

Explaination

User will be prompted for a login name, password and an enable password (optional). It is assummed that the same credentials are valid for all of the devices.

Devices will be connected to one at at time, the commands issued and feedback provided to the screen on progress, success and failure. There is no automatic rollback for failed / partial changes.

Examples

Example execution:

python networkcommand.py
