Network Configuration Generator

A professional web-based tool for network engineers and administrators to rapidly generate configuration files for Cisco and HPE/Aruba devices.

Bridge the gap between planning and deployment with a simple, validated interface.

Features

Multi-Platform Support

• Cisco IOS-XE - Optimized for Catalyst switching platforms.
• Cisco NX-OS - Tailored for Nexus data center switching.
• HPE/Aruba Comware - Support for legacy HPE and Comware-based switches.
• Aruba AOS-CX - Modern syntax support including advanced L2/L3 port logic.

Core Capabilities

• VLAN Management: Add, edit, and delete VLANs with optional SVI (IP) configuration.
• Interface Flexibility:
  • Access & Trunk Modes: Standard switching port configurations.
  • Port Ranges: Bulk configure interfaces using standard notation (e.g., 1/1-48).
  • L3 Routing: Toggle AOS-CX ports between routing and no routing modes.
• Voice VLANs: Automated platform-specific syntax (e.g., switchport voice vlan vs hybrid port modes).
• Global Services: One-click configuration for:
  • NTP Servers for time synchronization.
  • Syslog Hosts for centralized logging.
  • DNS Servers for name resolution.
  • SNMP Communities for monitoring.

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/solopx/netconfgen.git

2. Browse to the directory:

   cd netconfgen

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Set your session secret:

   for linux/bash:
   export SESSION_SECRET="your-secure-key"
   
   for windows/cmd:
   set SESSION_SECRET="your-secure-key"

5. Run the main python app:

   python main.py

6. Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:5000

How it Works

1. Initialize Global Configuration: Set your device hostname and management servers.
2. Define VLANs: Create your Layer 2 broadcast domains and Layer 3 interfaces.
3. Map Interfaces: Assign ports to VLANs or configure high-bandwidth trunks.
4. Generate & Export: Select your target platform and download the CLI-ready configuration.

Important Notes

• Safety First: Always review and validate generated configurations in a lab environment before deploying to production.

• IP Validation: Built-in validation ensures IP addresses and netmasks follow standard networking protocols.

• In-Memory Storage: For security and simplicity, this version stores data in volatile memory. Configurations are cleared when the server restarts.
