C.R.A.SSH

C.R.A.SSH (crassh) stands for Cisco Remote Automation via SSH, it is a python script for automating commands on Cisco devices.

Crassh can be used in two ways:

• a stand alone script that users (Network Admins) can run to perform actions on Cisco devices
• a module developers can import and leverage in their own scripts

The documentation is available here: http://crassh.readthedocs.org

My personal blog contains a tutorial here on how to use crassh in standalone mode and an initial example on how to use the crassh module. Future news about crassh can be found here.
