Neo is an open source network administration tool used extensively at
MIT to aid in the tasks of administering the network. Neo uses a
simple command line interface to talk to hubs, switches and routers
via SNMP.
Some of the features of Neo are:
- As a command line client it can be run over telnet, rlogin or
text ssh sessions.
- It can locate a host on a network device or a collection of
network devices.
- It can enable and disable network ports.
- It can produce a summary of device layout.
- It can produce statistics on per-port bandwidth use.
- It can be used in scripts.
News! A beta version of Neo 2 in Python
will soon be available for testing!
