Easy to deploy Looking Glass made in PHP.

• Webserver such as Apache 2, or Lighttpd, etc…
• PHP (>= 5.2.0) module for the webserver (mod-php5 for Apache 2 for example)

This web application made in PHP is what we call a Looking Glass. This is a tool used to get some information about networks by giving the opportunity to execute some commands on routers. The output is sent back to the user.

For now this looking glass is quite simple. Here you have some features:

• Interface using Javascript and AJAX calls (needs a decent browser)
• Support of BIRD, Cisco, Juniper and Quagga routers
• Support of Telnet and SSH connection to routers using password authentication and SSH keys.
• Configurable list of routers
• Tweakable interface (title, logo, footer, elements order)
• Log all commands in a file
• Customizable output with regular expressions

And here is a list of what this looking glass should be able to do in the future:

• Support more routers
• Support of other types of authentication
• Configurable list of allowed commands

Copy the configuration config.php.example file to create a config.php file. It contains all the values (PHP variables) used to customize the looking glass.

An up-to-date (hopefully) documentation is available in the docs/ directory. It gives enough details to setup the looking glass, to configure it and to prepare your routers.

If you have any bugs, errors, improvements, patches, ideas, you can contact me on my email address [email protected]. You are also welcome to fork and make some pull requests.

If you use this looking glass in your company, please drop me a mail. I would be glad to know that this project was helpful for you, and I will update our documentation to include your company inside the list of users if you want me to.
