[c-nsp] Bulk Cisco Device Prep

[luismi]

I didn't make an script for that, just several templates with some
fields at the top with some keyworks to be replaced with the proper
value (ip, mask, hostname, vlan...) and a simple "search and replace".
simple to use with any text editor.

But anyway, I would like to try your script too :D
