Replaces the separate checkmk and jdisc SNMPv3 users with one switchmon user, updating both the settings UI and config template generation. The operatorauth SNMP group is unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Switch Config Manager
Web-based tool for writing, saving, and pushing configuration files to network switches. Pulls switch inventory from NocoDB and provides a browser UI for editing and deploying configs.
Features
- Lists active switches from NocoDB (filterable by department)
- Config editor — write or paste switch configuration in the browser
- Save configs to disk as
hostname.conffiles - Push configs to switches via SSH (Paramiko)
- Web access shortcut — open the switch management UI directly from the app
Quick Start
1. Configure
Copy config.example.py to config.py and fill in your values:
cp config.example.py config.py
nano config.py
NOCODB_URL = "http://your-nocodb-host:8080"
NOCODB_TOKEN = "your-api-token"
NOCODB_BASE_ID = "your-base-id"
NOCODB_TABLE_ID = "your-table-id"
CONFIGS_DIR = "/configs"
2. Build and run
docker compose up -d --build
The app runs on port 8003 by default.
3. Open the UI
http://your-host-ip:8003
NocoDB Requirements
The NocoDB table must have at minimum:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
Hostname |
Switch hostname (used as filename) |
Active |
Must be YES for the switch to appear |
Dept |
Department code — used for filtering |

Saved Configs
Config files are saved to the configs/ directory as hostname.conf.
The directory is bind-mounted from the host so files persist across container restarts.
