I had done both, actually. I have the tool that updates cisco configs 
(the stanza injection) but i had also started writing a script that 
walked the network to map it out.

I ran into exactly the same issue with the Cisco routers, however. The 
only way I could figure out to get a reasonable amount of data out of 
them was to SSH into them and that just wasn't a feasible option so the 
script got abandoned.
