NX-OS ios_config type equivalent?

[Cory Anderson]

Hi all,

Is there an equivalent to ios_config on nx-os?  If there is, can it handle config-sync?

Is this something I should be focusing on using TcL & expect from a linux box rather than the tcl installed on the devices?

Ideally you should be using Python on NX-OS as it will be the first class language moving forward.  There is also a Cisco NX-OS API built in for Python.  The Python "cli" command can help you run config.

For Tcl on NX-OS, the "cli" command will allow you to run config commands.  For example:

cli "config t ; int e1/1 ; description test"
