Multi-vendor Config push tool for Capirca

[Tony Watson]

Ryan Shea has released a tool to assist with config pushes for multi-vendor devices.  Users of Capirca may find this highly useful (and it has been requested for some time.)  Please see the message below from Ryan that he just sent to the Nanog.org mailing list.

I have a chunk of code for a multi-vendor configuration push tool under the Apache 2.0 

license. Some of you may be interested.

https://code.google.com/p/ldpush/

This is an easily extensible framework on top of paramiko and pexpect in Python for distributing configuration to (or running commands on) devices. Currently we have the following vendor targets:

  * aruba
  * brocade
  * cisconx
  * ciscoxr
  * hp (procurve)
  * ios
  * junos
  * generic ssh

I have a thin wrapper around these vendor implementations which allows for threaded pushes and a couple small operational conveniences, but would appreciate any feedbackand testing. Please treat this as you would any *new* code -- do not consider it production quality. This project and Capirca go together like beans and cornbread, if you're into that sort of thing.

Thanks,
Ryan
