configuring multiple cisco 2960 switches
Dear All,
Recently we replaced 25 Dlink 24 port switches with Cisco 2960 switches , with a combination of 48 & 24 port across all floors.
My management wants all the switches to be manageable . Is there any software ,so that i can apply the config ( acl, hard coding, ios upgrading ) across all switches at a single time.
Currenly i have logged thru console to all switches and have configured loopback IP and the same is reachable via network, thru ssh
I require this since , there are plans to replicate across our zonal offices too, and configuring and managing might be painful, by logging individually.

No. Since each switch will have some parameters that are unique (switch name, IP address, etc.).

Telnet (or SSH) is the most common method of managing these switches. There are graphical tools that can reduce the burden somewhat (Ciscoworks, Solarwinds, Cattools, etc.).

No. Since each switch will have some parameters that are unique (switch name, IP address, etc.).
acl's are common in all switches, and most of the time , we will altering as per requirement. Atleast any software to apply the acl which is common to all the switches
