This is my first release of ldNetDeviceManager.py. The ldNetManager.py tool gives you the ability to manage your network devices with out having to purchase a product like Cisco's LMS or go through the planning phase of deploying a product like func. Each of the tools I mentioned before, only have the ability to manage devices in their realm. Func supports Linux devices and Cisco LMS supports only Cisco devices.
This tool has one goal. And that is to update your devices with out deploying any software to your remote devices. All you need is either telnet or ssh access to your devices and Python2.4 or better with Pexpect installed. Once you have those 2 requirements fullfilled, then you are pretty much ready to go.
You will need Python 2.4 or better and Pexpect. ( has not been tested with Python 3+ )
You can get Python from
http://python.org and Pexpect ( I'm currently using Pexpect 2.3, which you can get from SourceForge.
For support. please check the forums,
http://www.linuxdynasty.org/forums/LD_Network_Device_Manager .
Here are the release notes..
Revision .20 09/27/2009
- Support for Cisco Devices and Linux Operating Systems
- Support for telnet and ssh or both
- Knows if you passed sudo, su, or enable
- Can pass either 1 device or multiple devices
- Can pass 1 command or multiple commands through a text file.
- Can pass 1 device or multiple devices through a text file.
- When running show commands on Cisco devices, the script will know to send a ( space bar ) to get more info

Here is an example of running LdNetManager.py against 3 of my servers..
In the examples below, you will notice I am not passing a password and I'm using the root account. The script will know if you have ssh keys installed on the remote servers.
python ldNetDeviceManager.py --login="root" --dlist=gfs.txt --command="chkconfig --level 3 snmpd on" --term="ssh" --out
file list gfs.txt
connecting to 192.168.101.107
using ssh

chkconfig --level 3 snmpd on

using ssh
root@192.168.101.113 This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
chkconfig --level 3 snmpd on
[root@gfs3 ~] Total host that passed 3 192.168.101.107
192.168.101.111
192.168.101.113 Total host that failed 0
Total host that had either incorrect login or passwords 0
Total host that could not connect 0
Another example, this example shows that snmpd is set to on ..
python ldNetDeviceManager.py --login="root" --dlist=gfs.txt --command="chkconfig --list --level 3 |grep snmpd " --term="ssh" --out

Total host that could not connect 0
Another example. This time logging into Cisco Devices and runnign a show cdp neighbor..
python ldNetDeviceManager.py -l "localadmin" -p "pass" -D 1host.txt -c "show cdp neighbor" -t "both" --tout=3 --out

python ldNetDeviceManager.py --login=dynasty --passwd='passwd' --dlist='./switches' --clist='./cmd.txt' --term=both --enable='p\@55wd' --output --tout=2
python ldNetDeviceManager.py --login=dynasty --passwd='passwd' --dlist='./switches' --command='service snmpd restart' --term=ssh --enable='p\@55wd' --output --tout=2
python ldNetDeviceManager.py -l dynasty -p 'passwd' -d 192.168.101.11 -C './cmd.txt' -t ssh -o --tout=2
If you have SSH Keys then you do not need to pass a password unless you have to get root access or sudo access. example below..
