We want to automate the description setting on Cisco access switch user interfaces throughout the network.
This script is written in Python using netmiko and dnspython. Using specified VLANs for access users and the switch IP addresses in configuration file it filters out user interfaces and resolves the active IP address on the port via ARP cache of the corresponding router specified in the same configuration file and queries an IP reveres lookup from Local DNS server declared in configuration file. after formatting the resolved name it will be set on corresponding switch interface.
For disabled interfaces, we set Disabled by Admin description. For ports with more than active 1 MAC address, in the case that it has no description we set Multi User description, otherwise we would not change the interface description, but list them all in a report file.
