I thought about SNMP. The idea we came with was based on embedded systems so keep that in mind with regard to some ideas...

Basically it's something like Matt proposed but it ennumerates and depends rather in a different style. Cisco fans (and in lesser Shiva/ShivOS fans) might recognise the modularity built-up of the devices and other relevant configuration `files'. One thing was to access this configuration `database' by means of HTTP, CLI or SNMP. --- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven/Asmodai asmodai(at)wxs.nl | Cum angelis et pueris, Junior Network/Security Specialist | fideles inveniamur *BSD & picoBSD: The Power to Serve...
