### Requirements

1. [Python @3.11.1](https://www.python.org/)

2. [Jinja2 @3.1.2](https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/3.1.x/)

### Getting Started

```bash

│   cisco_config_generator.py

│   cisco_validation.py

│   switch.j2

│   requirements.txt

│   README.md

└───CSV

        01_params.csv

        02_vlans.csv

        03_etherchannels.csv

        04_port_mapping.csv

```

### Installation

```bash

$ git clone https://github.com/Tes3awy/Cisco-Configuration-Using-Python-Jinja-CSV.git

$ cd Cisco-Configuration-Using-Python-Jinja-CSV

$ python -m venv .venv --upgrade-deps

# Activate Virtual Environment

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

```

### Usage

1. Open each `.csv` file _respectively_ and add the configurations that meet your needs. _(The CSV files are populated with a sample configuration already)_

2. Open terminal/cmd.

3. Run `python cisco_config_generator.py`.

First, a `json_schema.json` file is created _(if not created already)_ from your configuration in CSV files. Then, `json_schema.json` is validated against a set of rules in `validate_config.py`.

Voila :sparkles:! Your configuration will be created an placed in configs directory.

### Preview

![Preview](assets/preview.png)

### Helpful Tips

1. **DO NOT** copy/paste the whole configuration all at once to your device. Divide the configuration template into multiple sections.

2. Always save your configuration with the `copy running-config startup-config` command. [See Why](https://networkengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/52309/diffrence-between-wr-and-copy-running-config-to-startup-config#answer-52310)

### TODOs

- [x] ~~Validate input fields in CSV files~~.
