python 100 lines of code, bulk config of network devices (II)

Previously wrote a, introduce how to use python to realize the network device configuration batch backup, in a small-scale environment, it can really run, but in a larger-scale environment, after the actual use, there are a lot of imperfections, like a toy.

Coincidentally now, there is a large thousands of network devices environment, need to do standardization, so there is an urgent need to improve, iterative, change the previous toy program, so that it can really apply in the production environment, practical.

Includes two separate functions, one for ‘read’ configuration, one for ‘write’ configuration, and includes the results of the execution and logging of the execution process.

Caution:

  • WORD_THREAD = 20, this is the number of threads, modify as needed, more than the upper limit of hardware resources, the program will crash!
  • The program is only adapted to Cisco IOS devices.
  • This program is used to view the configuration
  • pyinstaller ‘. \config_get v0.3.py’, can be packaged into an exe file and copied together with the input file for use in environments without python.
