This might be a crazy idea, but it just popped into my head, and I
wanted to know if it's possible. Perhaps not possible right now, but
possible in a theoretical sense.
Is it possible that puppet could be modified to be used to manage
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.
