Network Config Generation

Generate production-ready device configuration files.

Workflow

Step 1: Gather Requirements

Ask the user for:

• Device type — e.g., Cisco ISR4451, Arista 7050X, Palo Alto PA-3260, Juniper MX204
• Platform/OS version — e.g., IOS-XE 17.9, EOS 4.28, PAN-OS 11.1
• Features — e.g., BGP peering, OSPF, VLANs, ACLs, NAT, NTP, AAA, SNMP
• Interfaces — IP addresses, descriptions, link types
• Hostname — for the config filename

Step 2: Verify Syntax

Call damira_search_vendor_docs to verify platform-specific CLI syntax for any feature you're not 100% certain about. Pay attention to:

• Version-specific syntax differences (IOS vs IOS-XE vs NX-OS)
• Feature availability on the specific hardware platform
• Default behaviors that differ between versions

Step 3: Generate Config

Write a complete, deployable configuration:

• Include hostname, management, AAA, NTP, logging, SNMP baseline
• Include all requested features with correct syntax
• Add comments (! for Cisco, # for Juniper/Arista) explaining each section
• Follow vendor best practices (use enable secret not enable password, use SNMPv3, etc.)

Step 4: Save to Workspace

Save the config file to configs/{hostname}.cfg

Example filenames:

• configs/chi-rtr-01.cfg
• configs/nyc-sw-core-01.cfg
• configs/fw-dmz-01.conf

Step 5: Verify

After saving, briefly summarize:

• What was configured
• Any assumptions made
• Recommended pre-deployment checks
