I've heard someone mention a demo of cisco one pk, but haven't seen the module anywhere.

Emulating what the network admin would type via CLI is going to be brittle (i.e. ios commands), so I would look at the device API docs to get a better idea what it takes to manage them.

IMO, you don't need to adhere to device resource type, and it's actually easier to implement support through regular puppet resources.
