Element management

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

So, I’ve decided to write a network element manager, along the same lines as Dorado RMC.

The idea is that it will be an application that will:
- Do config backups
- Deploy config with templates, config snippets, etc.
- Check that current config meets certain rules
- Use interoperable XML/SOAP stuff for as many interfaces as possible, so it can be swapped out.
- CLI and web GUI to start with - adding maybe a GTK+ or Java GUI later on. I’d also like to do a Cocoa GUI for OS X.

And more things, I’m busy at work so it’s hard to think of all the things I have considered recently, but I’ll edit this post as I come up with more key points.
