Script to automate Cisco device configuration?

nel

Not regarding the NP but i thought this would be the best place to put this.

Im looking for a script of some kind which lets you automate cisco switch configuration without having knowledge with the IOS CLI. Im possibly thinking maybe theres a perl script which can refer to a csv file, where the user enters things such as vlan details, management IP, username and passwords, which port is assigned to a vlan etc. They can then run the script which will generate the output and write it to the switch. Or even just generate a config so the user can copy it to the switch.

Is this possible? i have no knowledge of scripting/programming but i am wondering if there is already one out there.

Nice template thanks! I'm looking to possibly have it configure a couple interfaces and build a VRF for Azure Express Route stuff. If you're not familiar all the Azure stuff is built through Powershell cmdlets already so would be nice if I can make it a one stop shop for the guys that do the actual provisioning. Less people actually have to touch stuff usually the better it turns out!
