vlanchange - Comments on install and operations

[Pete hoffswell]

Hiya Jonathan -

Good new install here. Smooth! Only one or two minor blips with OS differences (location of perl modules, and stuff)

I'm activating and testing the vlanchange stuff. Looks great! And may be a great benefit to us.
I found a couple things and wanted to share -

1 - I suggest the following be added to the netdb.conf file just to make it less confusing:

# Vlan Log
# vlan change log.  Uncomment if you are using the vlanchange function
#vlan_log      = /var/log/netdb/vlanchange.log

2 - vlanchange.pl line 131 says "shut" I suggest it should be "no shut"

3 - The web interface has options for "shut, no shut, and shut/noshut"

Suggest:

Add the following to netdb-cgi-conf -

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shut/No Shut functionality. Cisco only for now or you can implement this on

your own platform by calling a custom switch.

shutnoshut_script = /opt/netdb/vlanchange.pl -sns

shut_script = /opt/netdb/vlanchange.pl -s

noshut_script = /opt/netdb/vlanchange.pl -ns

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

4 - Finish work on vlanchange.pl to accept options -s and -ns (Currently not in there)

Thanks for your great work, and if there's anything I can do to help, just let me know.

Hey,

I haven’t had a lot of uptake on the vlan_change yet. We actually use different CLI scripts here to perform the CGI functions. I will try to work on this next Wednesday when I have some time and get it up to the standard of the rest of the program. We can also perhaps expand on some of the functionality. Descriptions changes have also worked really well for us, but I don’t have the granular security of the vlan_change for descriptions yet.

Thanks for all the feedback,
Jonathan
