Well
at Exodus we started talkimg about IASON
In the long run everybody was afraid of IASON. They dared no
work on it
Later I developed some bits and parts
When we changed hardware in a small company (200 PCs, 20 server
5 HP Procurve switches and two routers) IASON would discove
the switches as fast as they were powered and would move the
to a management network
Operators and management were not amused
IASON was changing passwords and ip-addresses :
That has been the only try
They idea is still a prolog based AI system, learning and knowin
every hardware, how it is configures and connected
You move a PC from one location to another because people do mov
or because a port on a switch has gone dead. IASON reprogramme
switches and ports so you get the same VLAN
Somebody is replacing a switch for whatever reason. IASON find
the new switch and sees the connected pcs and uplinks. It reconfigure
the switch so as to replace the old one. You do net even need t
mind where everything was connected. IASON can change across vendors
I guess it will take same time - but in the long run we will get i
and it will be open source
Kind regard
Pete

management (and (ideally) compliance-auditing_and_assurance) software
We currently use Voyence (now EMC) and are looking into other options fo
various reasons, support being in the top-3 ..
So I guess using something tried, tested and free like Rancid + ISC's audi
scripts are not within scope
So, I pose: To you operators of multi-hundred-device networks : what d
you use for such purposes(*)
Rancid :) (+ and now some home developed stuff
This topic seemed to spark lively debate on efnet
The current weather would spark lively debate on most IRC channels
