How it works?
Windows
path_to\subnetting> python main.py
macOS or Unix
$ python3 main.py
You will be prompted to enter the name of the CSV file containing input subnets, the gateway, a name for the Excel file to be created. (All inputs have default values).
A
subnets.csvfile can be found in the repo. This file is an entry point to get started using this program. It's prepopulated with three different subnets. (Class A, B, and C).
- CSV file [subnets.csv]:
- The gateway, first or last IP Address [0/1] [0]:
- Excel file to create [New-Schema.xlsx]:
Voila
Please check New-Schema_<TODAYS_DATE>.xlsx in current working directory.
Default behaviors:
- CIDR notation with no prefix length will be handled as /32.
- For example, if you enter10.0.0.1without a prefix length in the CSV file, the script will handle it like10.0.0.1/32.
- The header line
Subnets in CIDR Notationwithin thesubnets.csvfile is automatically skipped. So, there is no need to manually remove it.
- The gateway input accepts 0 or 1 ONLY [Defaults to 0]. 0 picks the first IP address of the subnet, while 1 picks the last IP address.
SVI Configuration Template
Finally, if you have a L3 switch and you want to create SVI interfaces of the created subnets on that switch, you can run:
$ python parse_excel.py --file <EXCEL_FILE_NAME>.xlsx
This Python script will generate a configuration file that includes all VLANs and their SVI interfaces.
NOTE: Make sure you add the VLAN ID and VLAN Name in all the cells in the generated Excel file before running
parse_excel.pyscript. Otherwise, VLAN ID and VLAN Name will be NaN in the generated configuration file.
Previews
Terminal 
Elapsed time is about 9 seconds in here because a CIDR notation like 10.0.0.0/8 is a little bit extensive to process.
