Subject: [LARTC] ncsh: alpha release
Date: Sat, 20 Oct 2007 18:23:26 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200710202223.26770.peet@altlinux.org> (raw)
...
Hello!
An alpha-mature code of the Connexion project is available:
http://www.radlinux.org/
http://www.radlinux.org/download/connexion-0.4.4.tar.bz2 [171Kb]
docs:
* en: http://www.radlinux.org/docs/static/en/
* ru: http://www.radlinux.org/docs/static/ru/
See docs/INSTALL for quick start-up howto (strictly speaking, installation
isn't required, it can work out-of-box -- if all dependencies are provided).
config samples:
* in the tarball, interfaces/console/testing/*
* event handling: http://www.radlinux.org/connexion/wiki/Connexion/Samples
...
In general, Connexion is a framework that provides an easy way to create and
combine system configuration modules. The 0.4.4 is shipped with modules:
* ncsh: basic network setup (ethernet, vlan, bridging, pptp, pppoe controls),
shaping (tbf,htb) (including class-factory for massive shaping)
* events: snmp traps and netlink events handling
* base dictionary
...
System requirements: GNU/Linux (2.6.13 and above tested; older kernels are not
tested but should work, except, maybe, netlink events), glibc (uclibc is not
tested, may not work in events handling), python2.4, iproute2, vlan-utils and
other ip stuff.
Possible problems: netlink module uses ctypes and operates on very low level.
It may have arch-related bugs, 'cause it is tested only on PC ia32 and amd
x86_64
Additional python modules (may be installed, but are not necessary):
* egenix-mx-experimental -- for UID(); if absent, uuidgen will be used
* pysnmp 4.x
* pyasn1
* pysnmp-mibs -- for SNMP traps
* ctypes -- for netlink events
So, without event handling, the Connexion project may work with python2.4
only, w/o any additional packages (ip related utils are still needed, but if
one works with network setup, he already has these utils)
...
I hope that the project will be useful. Any comments are appreciated. If
anyone want to help the project with coding/testing/docs -- you are welcome.
