#NetCTRL_Script

This script retrieves the hostname from a file and matches it against Netbox to retrieve the IP, then sends configuration to multiple types of switches based on the device type from Netbox. The configuration is from a Jinja2 template.

Setup

Follow these steps to set up and run the script:

1. Clone the GitHub repository: git clone https://github.com/user/repo.git
2. Go into the folder: cd repo
3. Create a virtual environment: python -m venv env
4. Activate the virtual environment: source env/bin/activate
5. Install the dependencies: python setup.py install

Usage

To run the script, use the following command:

python main.py -h

This will display a list of available command line parameters.

Examples

Here are some examples of how to use the script:

• Retrieve device information from Netbox and generate configuration:

python main.py -y config.yml

• Retrieve device information from Netbox, generate configuration, and send to devices:

python main.py -y config.yml -s

• Retrieve device information from Netbox and generate configuration for a specific device:

python main.py -y config.yml -i 192.168.0.1

• Retrieve device information from Netbox and generate configuration for a specific device type:

ppython main.py -y config.yml -d cisco_ios

• Test that the script is working as expected without actually sending the configuration to devices:

python main.py -y config.yml -t
