In this paper a router configuration machine for Cisco routers using GUI is presented. It is developed using Visual C# .NET programming, in which the interface provides GUI platforms for various types of configuration for entire series of Cisco routers. It communicates with the Cisco Internetwork Operating System to configure the router. It includes the configuration for all interior routing protocols and all types of most common used tools. The developed system is implemented on different series of Cisco routers and it worked successfully. It is observed that it eliminates the traditional use of command line interface for configuration of Cisco routers. The router configuration machine is such an idea which never existed before in such an easy level. The machine will be a perfect tool for anyone using a router. The machine also allows for real-time monitoring of network devices and constant performance checking. By providing embedded network intelligence at the network device level, the networks can monitor themselves and adapt to changing topologies, without the need of costly external mechanisms. This machine will also be useful for academic purposes and we can use this machine in any Communication Lab.
