Auto configure a Cisco device with a Raspberry Pi

[dlots]

For those that care I did a blog on how to easily deploy a config to a Cisco device with a Raspberry Pi. Just put the config on the Pi, plug the Pi into an un-configured Cisco device, boot the device and the device automatically gets the config put on it.

Thanks much, dlots!

And if anyone else would like to submit videos, drop me a PM and we can talk about it!

I have had issues getting this service to start on boot-up, so my hack I am sure will make the Linux gurus puke: we are going to tell cron to start it every minute.  If you have a better way please let me know, but this service always errored out for me when I told it to start on startup.

Check this article: http://askubuntu.com/questions/58032/dhcp-server-doesnt-start-at-boot-because-of-wrong-startup-order

I'm sure you could make this work for Juniper as well, they call it Zero Touch Provisioning

Nice work btw

smartinstall is affected by a number of vulnerabilities,

i would suggest that if you want to use it, configure it temporarily, use it, then turn it back off.
