The customer-driven OpenConfig project is establishing network models to encourage development & use of platform independent configuration tools. But will vendors support this effort? And what about the IETF, who is also working on standard networking models? Is there a conflict?

From the IoT to regulatory issues, there's a lot of uncertainty ahead for wireless networking pros.
Outages cost enterprises $700 billion a year, according to IHS study.
Growing security threats and a data explosion are driving demand for skilled security professionals.
A few days ago Dell announced their next-generation network OS based on Debian Linux, and bloggers (like my good friend Tom Hollingsworth) started wondering what’s going to happen with Cumulus Linux.
Let’s get into prognostication mode…
On a totally unrelated note, I love the picture Dell marketing put on the OS10 page. Linux distro in a binder? Really? When was the last time they checked the calendar?
Read more ...A reader asked “What can I do if my boss won’t let me automate my tasks?” Sadly some people still have a fear of automating even common, well-understood tasks. They’re worried about automation run amok. They think it’s safer to have a human typing in commands. But you know better. Humans have a place. But that place is not executing the same sequence of steps, over and over.
You need to prepare for change. Continuing to do repetitive tasks manually does not have a future. Either your boss will have a change of heart, or you’re going to change jobs. You have to prepare yourself for either eventuality. Here’s some thoughts on what to do.
First option: Just do it. Don’t bother asking, just get on with automating things you do often. You should be doing this anyway.
Last year we heard the story of a Russian hacker that had taken automation a little further than usual, with gems such as:
- kumar-asshole.sh – scans the inbox for emails from “Kumar” (a DBA at our clients). Looks for keywords like “help”, “trouble”, “sorry” etc. If keywords are found – the script SSHes into the clients server and rolls back Continue reading
Big Switch offers on demand labs to get instant access to Big Cloud Fabric (BCF) and Big Monitoring Fabric (BMF). Using these labs, it’s quite easy to experience the products first hand and see what they are all about. The labs also come with lab guides that walk you through step-by-step on how to get started using BMF and BCF.
For me, one of the more appealing aspects of these labs is that Big Switch also exposes the APIs such that you can access them directly from your personal machine. This makes it possible to not only test the product, but also test the API on each controller platform (BMF and BCF).
The best part is, you don’t even need to use any docs because they offer a command that shows the API calls being made by certain show commands.

Like the output from a show version
? Ensure debug rest
is enabled, and then just issue the command to grab the APIs being called to generate the text output on the CLI.
