I am looking at my career and I’m thinking of going down the programing/network path. If there Is one. I have many years and languages under my belt but only in education terms. So never cut my teeth in the real world besides bashing scripts that come across my desk. I am learning python but without a project or a portfolio my change in career might be DOA. So the plan is a network tool. Even if there is one out there that can do this I want a product that I learned to create.
At present I am thinking a program that has a list of networking devices and user credentials stored in a file(encrypted but not in the first instance). The program will then log into all the network devices and scrape interface details. Looking for CRC errors and hard buttoned speed and duplex settings. Bringing them to the network engineers’ attention. Scrape routing tables and mac addresses tables to show if any changes. And show any changes in link aggregation.
Does anyone else have ideas for nice to have features in the vein of the above?
