i feel you bro. people in here talking shit like they don’t know that some net devices are literally made for webgui first and foremost, and programmatic changes don’t work for every api even if it says it’s supported (fucking looking at brocade).
if you’re used to cisco cli, shit like juniper or palo alto or f5 can be intimidating when looking at the configs.
but i swear to fucking god if you use gui instead of cli for cisco, we gon have words.
Cisco and Juniper CLIs are terrible imo.. Why won't they just use a proper modern set of tools instead of their own proprietary shit that doesn't interface with anything else?
because cisco fears change and doesnt innovate technologies so much as acquire other companies’ tech and frankenstein it into their portfolio.
Had to get some metrics out of an old Cisco box that weren't available through SNMP, and the only solution I could come up with was to periodically SSH some commands and regex the results.
That required way too much shell-foo and the SSH daemon would just randomly refuse/drop connections.
If only there was some kind of standard metric API that every other modern software supports out of the box...
