Cisco Config Builders

Thanks Cody.  I am responsible for maintaining the switches and routers in
our environment so I look forward to having a look at what you put out
there.  I am sure that I will learn some new tricks that I was not aware of.


 

Thanks!

 

Jody

Subject: [Pauldotcom] Cisco Config Builders

 

Greetings All,

In the Defcon Podcast the Paul and team asked us, the listeners, to give
some feed back and let the Pauldotcom crew know how they have inspired us,
etc.  So here is my inspiration story.  

Having worked in the Networking and IT for awhile, over the last 5 years of
so I have really embrace the open source community more than ever.  During
this time I have felt guilty about not really giving back.  Mostly because I
did not really feel I had any more to give, there is some much good stuff
out there, I would just be repeating what someone else said.  But also
during that time I started to use MS excel to build Cisco configurations,
for routers, switches, ASA, PIX, Local Director, CSS, ACE, etc....even
started to do config builder for NETSH and other items....

So finally, I feel I have something to add to community.  I started a blog
at my website "www.melcara.com"  called Cisco Configuration Builders.  Every
week I will publish a new little excel spreadsheet which does some sort of
configuration.  Now, please understand, these config builders are not
designed for a person who is new to Cisco.  Now, now...hear me out.....I did
not build the script to do a lot of error checks and such.  If in the ip
address block you  put something like "300.300.300.300", then the tools does
not care.  Doing a lot of the error checking would just take me way to much
time.  Now, these are good tools for people new to field and who have been
there along time to simply do the job a little faster and more consistent.  

I use these tools everyday in my job.  While I can't publish the actual
tools I use, I am taking many of the components out and publishing them.  So
over the course of time, you  might have 30 spreadsheets that I have
combined into one, but you will have all the tools and code to make a great
tool yourself.

In true spirit of open source, these are 100% free.  I will not charge for
any that I publish on the site.  Please feel free to comment, download them
and make them your own.  I will respond to any comments, but I can say when
I will respond, but I will respond.

So, thank you all who have contributed to open source world, and I hope that
you find value in what I am posting.

Cody.
