Excellent work!   I think this tool is a great asset to HECnet.   We just need a bit of promotion now.   People are scared of Cisco equipment, but you can pick up a low-end router for $50 on ebay and it gives you everything you need to connect to HECnet.

Yes, Excellent work!

Well,   I need a Cisco 7200 chassis.   Those are a bit more than $50. ;)

The tunnel now does everything in the TODO exact that last one about
only sending configs out to only those who need them.

It now supports:

SNMP is now handled directly in python so no calling external scripts.
This allows for much better control over what happens when a router
doesn't respond.
IPSec tunnels as well as GRE tunnels (well, kinda, I still need to get a
working cisco config snippet to use, haven't done that yet)
mesh/hub/spoke topology. Each endpoint (router) can be designated one of
either hub, mesh or spoke. A spoke will only connect to a hub. hubs and
mesh will all connect to each other.
That's a damn fine piece of work!

Thank you! It's been a blast to write.

Much love to Paul for his python assistance. :)
