R: managment application for switches/SNMP

["Vega - Brunello Ivan" <I.Brunello () vegaspa it>]

for configuration maybe you should look at Ziptie (have not tested deeply, but it seems quite good at configuration 
management)

Personally, I prefer to configure ports by hand.

But I use a wonderful OSS tool - netdisco - to discover both devices and end nodes; just SNMP needed.
It can fetch mac, arp, and cdp (or lldp) info from devices, and correlate it, so you can see how the devices are 
interconnected, and where every single node is.
Furthermore, if you configure a read-write community, you could also enable/disable ports via a web intrerface.


For performance, I'd suggest NMIS (but, since I am one of the developers, I can't be that impartial).
