    Linaro VLANd v0.2

    I've been working on this for too long without really talking about it, so let's fix that now!

    VLANd is a simple (hah!) 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 v0.2, with a lot of changes included since the last release:

    • Massive numbers of bugfixes and code cleanups
    • Improve how we talk to the Cisco switches - disable paging on long output
    • Switch from "print" to "logging.foo" for messages, and add logfile support
    • Improved test suite coverage, and added core test scripts for the lab environment

    I've demonstrated this code today in Hong Kong at the Linaro Connect event, and now I'm going on vacation for 4 weeks. Australia here I come! :-)

    Thanks for posting this, I'll check it out on Monday. We're running about 50 HP procurve switches and right now I just use secure CRT with text files to copy paste to send mass changes.

    It was good to see this working yesterday at Connect, and now with the code and a README - thanks! Enjoy Australia.
