A Software Toolkit for Visualizing Enterprise Routing Design

Description

Virtual MAN is a tool which provides useful information and dynamically determines the configuration changes network operators need to make when managing Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) in enterprise networks. This directory contains a variety of scripts which, given network configuration data, perform various tasks such as determining a VLAN spread, determining which interfaces need to be configured to extend a VLAN to certain swtiches/routers, or determining the optimal root bridge for a VLAN.
