This tool is essentially used to generate basic and best practice configurations for the 9800 Controller. The basic configurations include Day 0 Config, Central and Local Webauth, Dot1x, PSK etc. The tool uses a GUI format to take input variables for the specific use cases such as hostname, interface name, AAA server name, Auth List name, and so on. On taking in these inputs, the tool returns the respective CLI to configure it on the device. The user can copy paste this CLI on the 9800 which should help with automatically configuring it. It is aimed at giving customers the best practices for their configurations.
