| switches that have a command line based interface?
|
| When I manage our Allied Telesis switches (which have a CLI similar
| to
| cisco IOS) I wonder if I could control it via a puppet-like node:
|
| node 'switch-101' {
| vlan { storage:
| id => 1234,
| untagged_ports => "3/e1, 4/e3",
| tagged_ports => "1/e1-2/e48",
| }
| include gvrp
| include stp::rstp
| stp::portfast { "1/e1-e48,2/e1-48",3/e1-48": }
| }
|
|
| Now I know we probably can't get puppet to run on the switch, but we
| can
| get a host to ssh or telnet to the switch, and to download the
| current
| configuration of the switch.
Funny, Brice and I had talked about this a while ago :) Obviously you could use
a host as "proxy" to get facts and then decide what hooks to run. I (re)wrote a
little ruby lib [1] thinking about this, still need some work btw
