Network configuration question

[darrelleddy]

Is it possible to copy the network configuration from one host to another, then make the ip address changes needed? If so, how can this be accomplished?

You could script it? short of using a thrid party tool there isnt a way other than scripting i believe....

So you could do somethign like this... just save all of your commands to a txt file and simply copy/paste into a console session..

I changed the vlan's from mystuff, but you get the idea.... if you have never used the service console to configure the network, setup a test box and teach yoruself how to configure the network from the ground up, I've forced myself to build my nodes manually just so i can "learn" by repetition...
