rcg-tool

This application is set to be used as an extension for GNS3 to automatically generate the configuration of all Cisco (and ALU in the future) network equipments that are part of a virtual topology. We take advantage of the topology setup configuration files produced by GNS3 to automatically generate the nodes (e.g. routers and switches) configuration files, without the need to access their corresponding consoles. Our implementation is also able to include customized settings, like the routing protocol to be used and which baseline configuration should be applied. This extension for GNS3 allows beginner practitioners to produce valid configuration files that can be further analysed, replicated and even applied to real network equipments. For more experienced students or practitioners this extension allows to speedup the overall network configuration task in large and complex network topologies, since they may overtake some initial and repetitive IP configuration steps.
