An excellent idea would be to integrate Jinja2, a Python template engine to manage Cisco templates that will be contained in YAML files.

Currently gen-cisco does not have a logo, if some of you had any logo proposals or suggestions, feel free to share them below.

My first idea for a logo, would be to create one in the shape of a circle, which would include a reference to the Cisco logo as for example keeping their fantasy bars and adding a personal touch.

I created this repository because I didn't find what I was looking for. Nevertheless, I noticed that many people use tools like Ansible for automation, which is a good thing.

Unfortunately, I find that these automation tools are too generic and tedious for a network administrator who has no knowledge in development and does not want to learn this kind of tools.

Ideally, you would provide a global configuration file depending on the type of device and passed to the command line. Then, a call to Ansible should be made to generate the script and deploy it to the remote device.

This could be a big step forward.

Hi,

Thanks for gen-cisco, I was wondering if it would be possible to include an input parser for the specified YAML file in the command line.

For example, this parser could distinguish an incorrect IP address based on the network mask. This could save time debugging.

May be a REGEX matcher, like:

^(25[0–5]|2[0–4][0–9]|[01]?[0–9][0–9]?).(25[0–5]|2[0–4][0–9]|[01]?[0–9][0–9]?).(25[0–5]|2[0–4][0–9]|[01]?[0–9][0–9]?).(25[0–5]|2[0–4][0–9]|[01]?[0–9][0–9]?)$

Whatever, I think the best way is to check if this address is correctly installed with the context of the current installed network.
