Linaro VLANd v0.3

VLANd is a python program intended to make it easy to manage port-based VLAN setups across multiple switches in a network. It is designed to be vendor-agnostic, with a clean pluggable driver API to allow for a wide range of different switches to be controlled together.

There's more information in the README file. I've just released v0.3, with a lot of changes included since the last release:

• Massive numbers of bugfixes and code cleanups
• Added two new switch drivers:
  • TP-Link TL-SG2XXX family (TPLinkTLSG2XXX)
  • Netgear XSM family (NetgearXSM)
• Added "debug" option to all the switch drivers to log all interactions
• Added internal caching of port modes within the driver core for a large speed-up in normal use
• Bug fix to handling of trunk ports in the CiscoCatalyst driver, improving VLAN interop with other switches
• Huge changes to the test lab, now using 5 switches and 10 hosts
• Big improvements to the test suite:
  • Match the new test lab layout
  • Move more of the core test code into the test-common utility library
  • Massively improved the check-networks test runner for the test hosts
  • Added parsing of the UP/DOWN results in test-common to give a simple PASS/FAIL result for each test
  • Added more tests
• All logging now in UTC

VLANd is Free Software, released under the GPL version 2 (or any later version). For now, grab it from git; tarballs will be coming shortly.
