Netonix Manager / Control Software

Tue Mar 08, 2016 10:40 pm

WARNING: NEVER INSTALL MORE THAN 1 MANAGER
If you do install more than 1 Manager for some odd reason just do NOT have both managers talking to the same switch.....VERY BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN.

We are working on a simple web based manager software to do the following:
1) Monitor your switches and alert you if they go off line via SMTP (if configured)
2) Scheduled upgrades or batch upgrades and alert you to any upgrade problems
3) The ability to launch the UI or CLI of the switch

You can download this and play with it and comment on the direction we go with it.

You can install it on Windows or Linux, we installed it on a virtual Linux server in our cluster that also runs our airCONTROL v1.0

It's web based so you can log into it from anywhere.

Download it HERE

This is not to be confused with products like iWISP that monitors many different devices and does many other things, this simply is used to monitor all your switches at a glance and do firmware upgrades faster.

Once installed it can be updated live online, it will notify you if there is an available update to the software.

This is the base, where we go with it from here is up to you guys.

Both Windows og Symantec Endpoint Protection is preventing me to run netonix-manager-1.0.0rc5.exe :-(

I managed to exclude it from Symantec, but still not from Windows....

Don't know why.

virustotal reports the file is clean, barring a false positive from McAfee.

In Windows you need to right click on the file and chose "properties". Then click on "Unblock".

Upgraded a lot switches this night with scheduled upgrade.

Can you please add the possibility to schedule a reboot. I know it's not to be used when there's problems. Better to solve the problem. But sometimes, when doing firmware upgrades on radioes, it's nice to reboot everything to make sure it runs from fresh start again....

After a firmware upgrade it does a reboot normally?

But scheduled reboots is a valid request, will add to list.
