Cisco Automation Scripting?

BaconZombie

I looking to write a few script to help automate the administration of our Cisco infrastructure.

Will be hoping to script stuff like listing ports on VLANS, moving ports in and out of VLANS, MAC / ARP searching, update Banners, etc.

So I'm not reinventing the wheel, was process / programs do other currently use?

I'm looking into PLink, Putty ,ExtraPutty and full script ; I also want my finial option to be Windows or cross-platform based since I will be rolling this out to other sites that are not Linux savy.

Does Cisco Network Assistant not kinda have that functionality?:

This might also do the trick:

As a simple solution if you have a unix host connected you could use a simple perl script via ssh or telnet module to do the work or even bash files, that would be a bit more awkward.
