Include a "looking glass" package that can be used to point to routers/switches local to the pSPT

Original issue 794 created by arlake228 on 2013-11-26T17:16:12.000Z:

Lots of variables in this:

• Can a looking glass package be found that is fully featured, and ideally not something that has to be done in house (e.g. IU product?)
• Enough to speak to major brands of device (Cisco, Juniper, Brocade, maybe others)
• Basic functionality that won't compromise security (traceroute, ping, bgp peers, vlans, etc)

This is more of a what if for a future release, has been requested in the past but talk of needing it is getting more and more loud as we move into a layer 2 world

The IU looking glass has a 'BSD-like' license and is available for download:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/routerproxy/

Supported devices (as of lat release):

• Cisco IOS ios IOS, doesn't work with IOS XR (CRS etc.)
• Cisco IOS 2xxx ios2 Use this for C2950 or similar device (layer 2)
• Cisco IOS 6509 ios6509 Same as ios, shows up as LAN device on webpage
• Cisco IOS XR iosxr use for CRS or 7000+ devices
• Cisco NX-OS nx-os Cisco NX-OS devices
• Cisco ONS 15454 ons15454 Cisco ONS 15454
• Juniper JUNOS junos Any JunOS device
• Nortel HDXc hdxc
• Nortel OME ome
• Ciena Core Director ciena
• HP ProCurve hp Any HP Switch
• Force10 force10

RPM may be available (luke is checking). Will need to evaluate the license issues and see how challenging it is to integrate other devices beyond the base support

This sounds like a re-hash of the problems we had with Cacti
