This project provides tools to manage configurations for Cisco devices. At the heart of the project is a tftp daemon written entirely in PHP. Configurations are read and written to the tftp server using a file path that incorporates a password feature for security. The current version of each device configuration is stored in a mysql database. Subsequent changes to the configurations are stored in diff format to provide revision history. A web frontend is provided to manage devices and view configurations and history. (more…)

No cgi access provided. This eliminates all cgi related security risks and also places the load of processing log information at a controlled time when overall server load is low. (more…)
