To deal with the difference in IP addresses between my home lab and the real 
lab I got in the habit of building what I called the "basic.txt" file. In this 
file I put the following (sample)

!creds

os/web admin   <userid>   <password>


!hosts
PUB     <ip>
SUB     <ip>
CUC     <ip>
CCX     <ip>
UPS     <ip>
WS              <ip>

BB/NTP  <ip>
CUE     <ip>

!============================
! HQ
fa 0/1  R1
fa 0/2  Ph1
fa 0/3  Ph2
fa 0/5  Ph3

!vlan
100             Server          <subnetip>
101             Voice           <subnetip>
102             Data            <subnetip>

lo0     <ip>

<....etc.....>


The idea is that you type out the IP addresses once. Then copy/paste into your 
other config notepads / web interfaces as needed. I keep the basic.txt file up 
all of the time. I actually put it in the top right of the screen so that I can 
right click/copy quickly.

Just my 2 cents.
