Purpose
Enabling discovery protocols by hand across a large Cisco estate is slow and inconsistent. This automation rolls out CDP/LLDP standards through Azure Pipelines, giving the network reliable device discovery and topology visibility.
Description
Python scripts using the Paramiko library connect to Cisco devices over SSH and apply CDP/LLDP configuration consistently across the fleet. Azure Pipelines drives the rollout, so configuration changes deploy through a controlled, repeatable process rather than one-off manual sessions. The standardized discovery protocols improve network topology monitoring and visibility while keeping device configuration management secure and auditable.
