A tool to upload configs to Linksys switches so you don't have to use the web interface.
The original approach was to use HTTP requests from inside Node to mimmick the file upload process, but there's some magic in the process that makes this painful - the requests from Node will not work unless an interactive browser session has recently visited the file upload page (sounds stupid right? Yeah.).
So now the script spins up a headless Chrome instance via puppeteer, then browses to the magic page before doing an upload.
I've left all of the old methods I had while trying to get the system to
work without headless Chrome in cruft.js and old-crust.js, just in case they're useful
in the future. :)
Tested with a Linksys LGS326 (firmare v1.1.0.21) and LGS552 (firmare v1.1.0.27)
Set up a client_secret.json file using the instructions on this page
Alternatively, you can edit inventory.js to pull from a local file or other source instead.
Make a config.json file like this:
{
"username": "admin",
"password": "admin",
"generated_config_directory": "./config/",
"google_spreadsheet_id": "the_id_of_your_google_spreadsheet_here"
}
The google_spreadsheet_id should be the ID of a spreadsheet that has a format like this:
ID Model Serial Mac LogicalName IP DefaultVLAN
SW-X52-01 LGS552 14F10C96xxxxxx B4750Exxxxxx server1 10.1.0.11 11
LogicalName populates the Location field, and (TODO) we use this field to generate
a switch DNS zone file, so we can move switches around and update the location mapping
without having to fiddle with their IP addresses.
ID is an arbitrary value unique to each switch, which you use on the command line to
identify which switches to update.
Run npm install && node app.js
Run the application with either of:
node app.js all # config all switches
node app.js SW-X52-01 SW-X52-02 # ... etc. Specify individual switches to update
Warning it currently does not do a copy run start - so rebooting switches
currently loses config. This will be fixed "shortly".
- Do a
copy run startafter uploading config - Option to update firmware
- Do all updates in different tabs of the same chromium window
- Option to use a local CSV/TSV file to get inventory info from, instead of google sheets
