Network Automation Project - Key Features (Topics)
1. User Authentication (Login System)
• Secure login for admin or network engineer
• Session-based access control
2. Dashboard
• Quick access to all features
• Show summary analytics using Chart.js:
o Number of switches backed up
o Ping success rate
o Scheduled tasks
3. Switch Configuration Backup
• Manually input or load switch credentials
• SSH or Telnet connection to switches
• Retrieve and save running config
• Export/download backup as .txt or .json
4. Ping System
• Enter IP/hostname manually
• Live ping results shown in UI
• Export ping logs as .json
5. Scheduled Ping
• Choose an IP and enable scheduled ping (via checkbox)
• Pings every minute using background scheduler
• Saves logs to /ping_logs/ as .json
6. View and Download Logs
• Display ping and config logs on the dashboard
• Allow user to filter and download/export logs (JSON, TXT)
7. Device Control (Optional Advanced)
• Enable/disable ports on switch using automation
• Restart switch remotely
8. File Manager (Optional)
• View, delete, or download config and log files
9. AI/ML Integration (Future Scope)
• Detect network anomalies from logs
• Predict switch failures using historical data
10. Network Map (Optional Advanced)
• Visualize all connected devices
• Use nmap and display with D3.js or chart
I'll create a network switch automation system based on your comprehensive
documentation. Let me plan this out:
Planning
Key Features to Implement:
1. Switch management dashboard with real-time monitoring
2. Configuration backup system with scheduling
3. Traffic monitoring and analytics
4. Device management with SSH connectivity
5. Alert system for anomalies
6. Log management and analysis
7. AI-powered anomaly detection
Design Language:
• Clean, professional network operations center aesthetic
• Dark theme with vibrant accent colors (blue, green, orange for status indicators)
• Modern glassmorphism effects and smooth animations
• Color palette: Deep navy backgrounds, electric blue accents, success greens,
warning oranges
App Organization:
• Dashboard page for overview and real-time metrics
• Devices page for switch management
• Monitoring page for traffic analysis
• Backups page for configuration management
• Alerts page for anomaly detection
• Settings page for system configuration
