Cisco SVI Sequence Generator

Artiom Lichtenstein

If you ever need to generate a large number of sequential SVI configuration, try this Python script.
It can be easily tweaked for physical interfaces instead of SVIs.

Usage:
./CONFIG_GEN.py {First SVI Number} {Base IP Address/CIDR} {IP Address Octet Number to Rotate} {Last SVI Number} [Additional Config Lines devided by ‘+’]
 
Examples:
./CONFIG_GEN.py 100 192.168.100.254/24 3 113
./CONFIG_GEN.py 13 10.13.1.254/16 2 17
./CONFIG_GEN.py 13 10.13.1.254/16 2 17 ‘no ip unreachables’
./CONFIG_GEN.py 13 10.13.1.254/16 2 17 ‘no ip unreachables+ip router ospf 1 area 0+no shut’
 

Result:
interface Vlan13
ip address 10.13.1.254 255.255.0.0
no ip unreachables
ip router ospf 1 area 0
no shut
 
interface Vlan14
ip address 10.14.1.254 255.255.0.0
no ip unreachables
ip router ospf 1 area 0
no shut
 
interface Vlan15
ip address 10.15.1.254 255.255.0.0
no ip unreachables
ip router ospf 1 area 0
no shut
 
interface Vlan16
ip address 10.16.1.254 255.255.0.0
no ip unreachables
ip router ospf 1 area 0
no shut
 
interface Vlan17
ip address 10.17.1.254 255.255.0.0
no ip unreachables
ip router ospf 1 area 0
no shut
