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.
The word Cisco is used as a description because this script should work with any Cisco IOS device. Cisco is a registered trademark of Cisco Systems Inc; this script is not associated, endorsed, supported or affiliated in any way with Cisco and none of these are implied.
