Batch Hostname Change?

[ruben.colmenares]

Hello,

I recently had the requirement to change more than 200 Cisco NCS 5000 Series' hostnames. I tought in creating and execute some kind of script in order to complete this task within the minimum amount of time as possible.

Can this be achieved? Can 200 Cisco NCS 5000 routers' hostname be modified using a script?

Please let me know your comments. Many thanks in advance,

Ruben D. Colmenares

Hi Ruben,

One way if you have a NCM (Network Configuration Manager) tool, otherwise it should be completed manually.

I'm unfamiliar with the NCS 5000.  If they have CLI access, and if hostname can be set via CLI, then yes, you might use a script.

Or, if the device configs can be updated via SNMP, or one of the newer config access protocols, answer should be yes again.
