prosafe.lua

This is a lua script to administer Netgear Prosafe smart switches via the telnet port. It is somewhat experimental and requires you to have libUseful and libUseful-lua installed.

N.B. Recent Netgear switches have the telnet management interface turned off by default. You will have to turn it on using the http management screens.

Features:

• Displaying various information about a switch
• set the switch’s IPv4 address
• set the switch’s management password
• turn on/off remote management services
• set switches telnet banner
• set syslog server to send logs to
• display switch log
• set sntp server to get time from
• set switch clock to localhost time
• list state of ports and mac addresses active on each port
• disable/turn-off ports
• lock ports to only allow traffic from current mac addresses
