Ciscoworks interface configuration

[peter.faist]

Does anyone know how to go about configuring interfaces on multiple devices? I want to roll out a change to 40 routers, to the individual interfaces, as opposed to the global config mode, because it's interface specific. However, I can't seem to find out where and how you would do this.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Are you using RME to fetch configs? What version? I'm using RME 3.5. You can use Config Editor to edit the changes in each config file since they are interface/location specific and then push in a batch job. If all the changes were identical you could use Netconfig.

Yes, I'm using RME v4.01. Part of LMS 2.5.

So, say I wanted to roll out

"no ip redirects" to all interfaces on all routers.. Netconfig would be hard since you can seemingly only use an Ad-hoc job to push this. I'd have to specify all possible interfaces, and then the command, kinda like this:

int e0/0

no ip redirects

int s0/0

no ip redirects

int bri0/0

no ip redirects

etc...

Ofcourse, this would cause most to fail because the list would be lengthy, so it's not really a good solution.

Manipulating the configs one-at-a-time isn't an efficient solution either.

I thought somewhow CW might be able to apply the changes to all the relevent interfaces, but I'm not quite sure how to accomplish that, other than a blanket batch.

You might want to look into the baseline template and compliance portion of RME 4.0:

Is there an equivalent to this for RME 3.5?

There is no equivalent to this for RME 3.5

This is a new feature in RME 4.0

Ah ha.. didn't know you could use wildcards like that in the compliance template.. (which is very cool by the way...)

Thanks Nhabib!
