Pancho is a script meant to help network administrators simplify 
their job of updating a group of routers with the same required
change. In addition pancho can be used to archive router configurations
through a manual or automated process. With a bit of creativity, pancho
can be used to maintain the configuration of an enterprise network of
routers.

Pancho relies on the snmp libraries installed as well as the NET::SNMP
perl module. The libraries should be available with your distribution,
however the latest and greatest version may be obtained from 
http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/
SNMP.pm is not a standard module included with the perl distribution,
so more than likely you will need to download and install the module
seperately. It can be found through the CPAN archive at 
http://search.cpan.org/

This document does not cover installation of Net::SNMP or the snmp 
libraries. Please consult the documentation that accompanies each
project.

For a full feature list and configuration options, please run:

  perldoc pancho

One feature within pancho that is not configurable through command line
options is logging. This feature relies on understanding how unix logging
works as well as file permissions. Best practices for logging pancho are
kept in a seperate file called LOGGING within this directory. 

Pancho has been tested on several ios(c) revisions, however since cisco
has older deprecated oid which are no longer supported on more recent
12.x revisions of their ios, it would be most helpful if users of Pancho
please submit via email revisions of ios that the utility is compatible
with.
