FACT What's Coming?

Revision as of 23:19, 1 April 2008 by Fenton (Talk | contribs)

As an Alpha release, this release of FACT is not feature-complete.

The following list contains some of the features that are unimplemented or incomplete:

Prompts for user passwords if the credential files do not specify a password.
Command-line editing, similar to HSM or SFS-OS command-line interface editing.
Annotating LIDs and MLIDs.
Monitoring logs--Similar to annotating except that the monitor will continue to watch for new messages.
Monitor mode--FACT will run as a daemon to monitor logs and send their annotations back to the syslog.
Port control--FACT will have the capability of enabling a port, disabling a port, or changing port speed and port width. All changes can be made with a single command, and all changes will be persistent.
Firmware upgrades--FACT will have the capability of using a single command to upgrade firmware on a set of switches.
Additional queries--The following commands will be added:
- show changes
- show isolated managed-nodes
- show multicast groups
- show routes

The show changes command will compare the current scan against another scan and report network elements that have been added, removed, or moved.
