we have over 70 remote sites that have 871 routers w/ nearly identical configs on them. i am looking for a tool to update multiple routers with some form of ease. is there currently any tools available to do this. I could see using .bat files to do this but was wondering if there is anything cisco uses for this

Cisco's CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution (LMS) includes NetConfig - a part of Resource Manager Essentials (aka RME) - which allows you to make configuration changes to one or more devices. For more information about CiscoWorks LMS see http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/cscowork/ps2425/index.html.

Alternatively, you can use perl (http://www.perl.org) and the excellent Net::Telnet::Cisco module (http://search.cpan.org/~joshua/Net-Telnet-Cisco-1.10/Cisco.pm) to write a script which telnets into a bunch of Cisco devices and implements your changes for you.

We use both CiscoWorks LMS and perl scripting - using the former for smaller jobs and the latter for large scale configuration changes and roll-outs.

thanks, that will work but i am really looking for something for windows, just in case someone else at our business needs to use it that doesnt know linux

Cisco Works LMS runs on both the Solaris and Windows platforms.

There are perl packages available for Windows including ActivePerl from ActiveState - see http://www.activestate.com.
