setup a Lab for refurbishing switches and routers

[linuxleye]

Hi Guys,

I have to setup a Lab to refurbish 2000 switches and routers

I was wondering if there is a method out-here I can use to factory default at the same time at least 10 switches or routers because the time I have to do the job is very limited and I do not want to factory reset them  one by one.

any idea would be awesome.

Thanks

Do you have a budget for this? If so, I would suggest checking out Solarwinds' NCM (Network Configuration Manager). 

It is not free but it works great to mass-manage network devices. 

I hope this helps!

Thank you for rating helpful posts!

Hello

I would do them by hand in blocks as you have stated, by the time you have network them together and then proceeded to factory reset I envisage it would take longer.

If you have access to PSU and Access switches then this would much easier and you can power up and console access multiple devices at the same time
