Mass Configuration?

[Anonymous user]

Hi there,

Easy and quick question. We have over 70 Switched Rack PDUs over a number of data centers. Mainly AP7941, and some other similar ones. We dont use DHCP on these, theyre manually configured.

Is it possible, through any method, to mass configure these guys for common settings? Obviously the pdu names and whatnot are different for each pdu, dns names etc.. but theres a whole lot of repetitive logging into each pdu and manually setting the settings for every single pdu.. it gets old fast 🙂

Was thinking along the lines of using variables in the config.ini and mass-uploading ... or anything that would make my life easier in this respect.

Thanks!
