Execute commands in multiple Cisco devices simultaneously

[walter.perera]

Hi all:

We have a big network and every time we need to execute commands in switches and routers, it takes a lot going one by one to do it. Is there any way, ie using special software, or Linux, scripts, whatever that can be used to execute same commands in all devices at the same time?

Thanks in advance

in CiscoWorks LMS there is the  RME NetConfig task which can do this for you. You can download an eval copy of LMS here (90 day eval for 100 devices)

to get the solaris version

but there is also the the "Cisco Enhanced Device Interface" which perhaps could be a solituon for you:
