Multivendor? #3

Open wrgeorge1983 opened 9 years ago

This is clearly a problem and should be addressed.

Ideally through implementing class inheritance of some form. device: --Switch --Router etc...

Extensible to multi-vendor as in: device: --Switch ----Cisco ------IOS --Router

But that leaves certain devices in a weird state (layer 3 switches, for instance).

Perhaps not so granular, except on a case/case basis: Device: --IOS --NXOS

differentiation between switch/router at this point is limited to WAN interfaces and availability of switchport commands (possibly), but those might be better handled via exceptions.

First candidate for actually implementing another vendor is Riverbed Steelhead CX
