Nas Groper is a cgi application written in perl that is dependant on the Net-Snmp suite to retrieve snmp oid variables from Cisco network access servers. It is a useful tool for Internet Service Providers to poll their Cisco NAS appliances for information on who is logged in, from where, and for how long. It also gives other valuable information on system operating variables.

COSI has a new Q.931 Signaling Tool is designed to filter activity reported by "debug isdn q931" from a Cisco Router and track individual calls.

The CGI interface allows the user to run the Q.931 Signaling Tool directly from the COSI Web site.

Check out the Q.931 Signaling Tool:

COSI has just published two new scripts for use with Cisco Aironet wireless access points; ColdRestartAP and UpdateAPFirmware. These Perl scripts are designed to run as command-line tools on Unix or Windows systems.

ColdRestartAP performs a cold restart of one or more Cisco Aironet wireless access points using the HTTP interface.

UpdateAPFirmware updates the firmware of one or more Cisco Aironet wireless access points using the HTTP interface.

COSI has a new user friendly CGI-based GUI for analysis of NextPort and Mica Modem logs. The new CGI interface allows users to analyse NextPort and Mica modem logs directly from the COSI website, without the need to download the tools and run them from a command line interface.

Modem logs analysis command centre:

Supported commands for Mica Modems include:
-debug csm modem
-debug modem csm
-show modem log... read more

I am starting work on a tool to configure the Cisco Service Assurance Agent in IOS routers. I need help to code it. It will be a Perl-based CGI-driven application. A knowledge of Perl, HTML, or SNMP is needed. Please let me know if you can help with coding this project.
