Base switch configuration generator
Select your platform, enter your VLAN scheme and addressing, and get a base configuration to adapt for your deployment. Covers Cisco Catalyst, Aruba CX, and ALE OmniSwitch.
How to use this tool
Select your switch platform and enter the details for your deployment. The tool generates a starting configuration, not a final one. Every environment is different. Review every section before adapting it for production. Test changes in a lab or staging environment when possible.
To audit a Cisco IOS or IOS-XE configuration you already have, use the Cisco switch config audit skill.

- Cisco Catalyst 9200 and 9300 (IOS-XE)
- Aruba CX 6200 and 6300 (AOS-CX)

Runs in your browser. When you generate output, this site records that a generation happened and the platform, model, and hardening options chosen so I can see which options get used in the field. The config generator above runs in your browser and nothing you enter there is uploaded. Audit mode is different: the configuration you paste or upload is sent to this site's server for analysis, and only the score, platform, and hostname are kept afterward. Remove passwords, keys, and SNMP communities before pasting a config for audit. See the privacy policy.
