Please enter the file name of the IOS 12 config file to apply to devices: iosnewtacacs.cfg
Please enter the file name of the IOS 15 config file to apply to devices: iosnewtacacs.cfg
Please enter the file name of the IOS XE config file to apply to devices: iosnewtacacs.cfg
Please enter the file name of the NXOS config file to apply to devices: nxosnewtacacs.cfg

The script will then continue and apply the config to each device type. This is achieved by adding the device version to the cisco_device dictionary after the connection has been opened with Netmiko.
