Hi,

If your switches are a combination of 2960 and 3750 series and newer supported devices, the simplest and cheapest is to use Cisco's SMARTINSTALL.

From then on you can use the SMARTINSTALL "Director" to perform the upgrades to all. Leverage the full SMARTINSTALL setup and you can have a near zero touch installation for all new devices.

Need more information than this.

What Cisco appliance do you have?  How many sites?

The best way is to install a TFTP server at the site.
