Quick update today! User Christianha, pointed out to me that the port_report tool was not matching any MAC address he passed. The reason for this is because he was passing the MAC address in uppercase. As per his suggestion, I fixed line 348 so that before it returns the mac, it willl make the MAC lower case. Then I just realized something.... I reverted line 348 back to way it was and changed line 676 instead..

It was if nmac == cmac:
Now it is  re.search(nmac, cmac, re.IGNORECASE):

I felt this was the safer option..

Thank you Christianha for pointing the issues out..

This is my first release of ldNetDeviceManager.py. The ldNetManager.py tool gives you the ability to manage your network devices with out having to purchase a product like Cisco's LMS or go through the planning phase of deploying a product like func. Each of the tools I mentioned before, only have the ability to manage devices in their realm. Func supports Linux devices and Cisco LMS supports only Cisco devices.

This tool has one goal. And that is to update your devices with out deploying any software to your remote devices. All you need is either telnet or ssh access to your devices and Python2.4 or better with Pexpect installed. Once you have those 2 requirements fullfilled, then you are pretty much ready to go.

You will need Python 2.4 or better and Pexpect. ( has not been tested with Python 3+ )

You can get Python from http://python.org and Pexpect ( I'm currently using Pexpect 2.3, which you can get from SourceForge.

For support. please check the forums, http://www.linuxdynasty.org/forums/LD_Network_Device_Manager .
