So my shop brings on a few new sites/clients a year and they all follow our standard setup for a standardized set of vlans, tunnel back to HQ network, and some configs for things like multicast/igmp etc etc.
We run Ruckus ICX switches and are using Palo Alto firewalls.
What automation tools have the least learning curve to be able to say
-
Define new customer site is 10.xxx.0.0/16
-
Plug in new core switch. Have it grab a core switch config for the 10.xxx site scheme.
-
Plug in second core switch. Have it grab appropriate config with next IP in the scheme.
-
Plug in a new access switch. Have it grab a access switch config for 10.xxx site scheme. And get an appropriate IP in the scheme.
-
Repeat for other access switches.
-
Plug in new firewall. Have it grab firewall config and maybe all I do is put in the wan provider details.
Etc...
I always hear Ansible or python this or that but have yet to find a solid tutorial tgat does a lot of hand holding. I need the hand holding.
Any favorites out there? TIA
