I have a legacy set of HP switches that I need to find options for replacement incase of failure. It's in a classroom setting where the classroom can be split into 4 smaller classrooms and each part can have duplicate addresses
The current network has a one large 5400zl (room level) and a number of 2524s (access level) that tweak configuration based on how a user (teacher) selects the setup of the room. They do this using a windows based management console, which runs an in-house tool to upload the correct config to the correct switch. This is all behind the scenes and they do no admin work themselves.
The problem I'm having is that this tool was built specifically for these switches and is broken by a firmware update, so I'm certain that any new switch I look at will not work. I'm looking for a COTS replacement to this tool (or a way to create another tool) that will do the required configuration updates to a newer switch.
I've considered Solarwinds NCM/Kiwi catTools but I'm not sure these give me the software based solution I need.
I'm by no means a network engineer, as I mainly do software, so sorry if this seems obvious!
Any ideas?
Thanks
