I don't know a Cisco config from a fig newton, but here is my sense of
what you wrote, in case it is helpful.

#+name: cisco-table
| 1 | one   | two  |
| 2 | three | four |
| 3 | five  | six  |

#+header: :results output raw
#+header: :var x=cisco-table
#+begin_src python
  for y in x:
      s = "* Cisco %s \nTwiddle %s, poke %s \n\n" % tuple(y)
      print s,
#+end_src

#+results:
* Cisco 1 
Twiddle one, poke two 

* Cisco 2 
Twiddle three, poke four 

* Cisco 3 
Twiddle five, poke six
