We are currently trying to deploy CyberVision to over 100 of our switches. It looks like the majority of the configuration can be pushed through a template in CC. The challenge is when we configure the addressing. Does anyone know if CC is capable of deploying a template that can enumerate through a list of addresses, applying unique ones to each switch? I realize this may seem vague. Apologies in advance.

This is unfortunately not possible in Cat-C templating currently. You will either have to define a variable that you fill out manually the first time you deploy, or you will have to use an EEM applet to fetch that information from an IPAM/CMDB or similar after deployment.

Don't do it in the template itself. Use a normal variable in the template for the address. When you go to provision the device and get to the step where you are prompted to fill in the variable, there is an "Export CSV Template" option on the right side. Download that template and use it to build out a CSV file with rows for each device and a column for addressing. Now when you go to provision your devices you can just import that CSV file to populate all the variables without doing it manually.
