Net-Autoconfig version 1.12.2 =========================== This is a module to allow the bulk upgrade and configuration of many network devices (switches, routers, probably firewalls) of any vendor (HP, Cisco, ...) in an automated fasion. It uses templates and device configuration files for scriptable, consistent configurations. It automatically discovers the vendor and model and does configrurations based on: 1) the hostname of the device, 2) the specific model, 3) the model class, or 4) the basic vendor + device type. User definable variables in the device file can be interpolated in the template commands at run-time, per device. Logs using a syslog style. It can be setup to log to the standard log locations (e.g. /var/log/), to the screen, or to a file in the current working directory. Configures devices in parallel (default 128, max 256) for quick upgrades and deployments.
