SOLUTION OF REMOTE MANAGEMENT FOR COMPUTER NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE USING INTEGRATED NETBOX

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to create an automated switch configuration management
system using the NetBox platform. A Python program developed for data processing integrated into
NetBox. System objects were be linked by Django relational relationships using REST API methods. An
interaction model of system components was implemented using SSH Paramiko and Netmiko libraries.
The integration points of NetBox platform REST API were supplemented with seven switch port
configuration methods using Token authentication. Testing of the system showed that the port
parameters data was successfully transferred in an average of 135 milliseconds. By research
established that SSH protocol library Netmiko is better compatible with different switch models.
