Diseño e Implementacion de un Algoritmo para la configuracion de dos Tecnologias de Routers, Utilizando el Software de Enrutamiento Quagga

Abstract

The present grade work consists in the elaboration of a application for desktop, implemented in the operating system ubuntu, through the programming language Python and the interface designer Glade. The application operates as a graphical interface so that the user can interact in a simple and intuitive way with Cisco IOS networking commands and quagga routing software. Initially we studied the commands available on both platforms, investigated how to use a desktop computer as a router, started the network topology and subsequently performed connectivity tests to verify communication between terminals. Next, the interface aspect was designed and the algorithm was generated to be able to program the network parameters of the two routing platforms from the same application. The programming of the routing parameters was done centrally, you have the application running on the pc router and from there the connection to the cisco router is made through the ssh protocol to ensure the integrity of data traffic. What is sought with the use of the application is to facilitate learning and assimilation of routing concepts graphically, reduce scheduling time by running multiple commands simultaneously, not as the command console in which to enter and exit the configuration repeatedly and finally save the changes, process that is done from the interface developed from a single window and can be verified quickly. We also want to encourage the use of free software and interoperability in networks, the tool developed is scalable in case you want to add more functionality and improvements.
