The project was written by Raj Uppal for downloading network configuration from Cisco (Juniper support will be added later) routers and switches. Also will allow for performing automated network management based on the configurations downloaded.

Network Configuration Store is a free, open source application for network administrators, designed to automatically backup, revision and audit the configuration from Cisco IOS-based routers and switches.

Simple and easy to use program that helps configuring the network interfaces, allows to have multiple configurations for the same computer and to easy configure NAT for internet sharing.

syssumm (AKA "System Summaries") is a collaborative open source project developing a set of Perl scripts that generate a profile of a computer's hardware, software, and network configuration that can then be viewed with a browser.

This application is set to be used as an extension for GNS3 to automatically generate the configuration of all Cisco (and ALU in the future) network equipments that are part of a virtual topology. We take advantage of the topology setup configuration files produced by GNS3 to automatically generate the nodes (e.g. routers and switches) configuration files, without the need to access their corresponding consoles. Our implementation is also able to include customized settings, like the routing protocol to be used and which baseline configuration should be applied. This extension for GNS3 allows beginner practitioners to produce valid configuration files that can be further analysed, replicated and even applied to real network equipments. For more experienced students or practitioners this extension allows to speedup the overall network configuration task in large and complex network topologies, since they may overtake some initial and repetitive IP configuration steps.
