Changing shared key in bulk for Clients in ACS 4.2.1

Question

HI,
is there any way to change the shared secret key for all devices in bulk instead of going to each clients and changing key in ACS 4.2.1 ?
Please let me know if is there any way to perform it faster.
Thanks

Hi Nitin,
Well, if you have all the devices in a single NDG then just click on that NDG >> at the bottom click edit properties  >> enter the new shared secret key there and it will take precedence from there on. Even though if you click on any AAA client inside that NDG, it will show the OLD shared secret key but due to the presence of this feature where NDG key will always override the AAA client, this will surely work for you.
If you're not convinced with the above suggestion and really want to change the shared secret key then let me know;
Are you using ACS SE or ACS windows. I'm assuming that you have ACS SE
Here you need a CSV file with the action code to certain NAS and you should be able to synch the CSV file with RDBMS to the database using
4.2 version
Code 224 - UPDATE_NAS
VN = AAA client Name
V1 = IP-Address
V2 = shared secret key
V3 = vendor
