Parse Your Cisco Devices To Reconcile Customer Information

Since I work for a datacenter, we have a LOT of ports. Our customers hang off of a handful of pieces of equipment, but we have a lot of density on these devices. Every so often we run the numbers for how much bandwidth is subscribed to each customer as well as how much are they contracted for. We also check to see how much bandwidth we have subscribed in total.

As you can imagine, it takes forever and a day to run all this information…and I just don’t have the patience for that! I wrote two scripts. One goes out to a list of devices, logs in and dumps the configs as well as interface status to a text file. The second script goes through these and parses out the info and comma separates everything. I can then take the files and reconcile in just a couple hours…which is about all the patience I have for paperwork…hehehe.

Here’s the first script. You will need to create a text file for this guy to read devices from. Name the file devices.txt and put it in the program’s root folder. Entries will need to be like below:
If you are using ACS, make your entry like below:
core-router-1,1.1.1.1,ACS

If you are just using passwords, then make your entries like this:
core-router-2,2.2.2.2,password1,password2

You can mix and match passworded devices with ACS devices.

Here are the compiled files if you don’t want to compile it yourself: Cisco-Inventory (3489 downloads)

Here’s the script that actually parses the config. It creates a CSV file that is listed as thus:
hostname,interface,description,ip address,subnet mask,bandwidth,port status

Bandwidth is whatever the port is configured to with a service policy. If there is no service policy, then it uses the ports physical rate limit. If the port is down or admin down, it sets this value to 0.

Port status is up, down or admin down.
