(RADIATOR) Bulk AP Config

[Bret Jordan]

All,

With Hugh's blessing I am making this announcement.  We have started 
writing a tool that will allow you to make changes to all your APs at 
once.  The idea was we needed a tool for our 802.1x deployment with 
Radiator that would allow us to change the shared secret keys on all the 
APs all at once without having to log into each one separately and also 
allow us to reboot all the APs at certain times. 

 

The tool as it stands (config-ap.pl) only works with Proxim AP-2000s 
(due to the way we are checking the Net::Telnet response) and the tools 
is very much in the proof of concept stage.  However it does work in its 
current state.  The plan is to add support for various APs and 
connection methods.  We will also be adding support for nested config 
files (Apache style) so that you can have different APs and different 
settings.   Also I need to mention (which is also in the README file) 
that error checking and sanity checking is very primitive. 

 

We welcome any patches, additions, comments, and feedback.

 

The code is now in CVS at sourceforge.
