database.  Intended to be used to recover switch state after a
crash or power outage.

This option is farily dangerous, as it temporarily disrupts all
experimental traffic, and will remove all hand-created VLANs.
So, it interactively asks for confirmation that the user (who
must be an admin, of course) really wants to do this.

things from getting cleaned up on failure.

First, the stack-level createVlan() function no longer takes as an
argument a list of devices the VLAN exists on, since it looks like
this will never be needed.

In it's place, createVlan() now takes a list of ports, so that it can
(if so desired) put the ports in the VLAN without a seperate lock and
unlock.

The snmpit_intel module now uses its 'nested locking' feature to avoid
additional locking in these cases. Note though, that the way that this
is done is not safe for multiple switches in a stack. If we ever have
to support multiple Intels (looks doubtful), this will have to be
removed, or locking will need to be moved a level up to
snmpit_intel_stack . Yuck.

For Intels, the removeVlan() function calls removePortsFromVlan()
itself, again to save locking overhead. The Cisco behavior, however,
is unchanged, as locking is not expensive, and this would be too
messy.

slow, but we seem to have problems otherwise.

multiple operations. For example, you can now remove multiple VLANs with
one command, like:
snmpit -o foo -o bar

You can now give more than one -i option, so that you can give a list of
more than one switch to operate on, like:
snmpit -i cisco3 -i cisco4 -l

Converted from using Getopt::Std to Getopt::Long, which is more flexible and
better documented.

All the 'worker' ( do*() ) functions now take a list of stacks as the first
argument, rather than using a global @stacks variable.

Fixed up the usage message, which was out of date in some cases, and
innacurate in others.

cleaner, but they seem to cause problems in some cases.

out of alignment with the columns.

we treat Ciscos (in which we ignore VLAN #1)

tests still didn't work on the mini-testbed. The less important tests
have been removed - a few others just modified to work with fewer
resources.

The tbcmd test is an important one, which would lose something by being
smaller. So, I've made a copy of it which tests a slightly smaller set
of functionality, but will run on the mini-testbed.

Removed database setup section. It now points people to the setup-db.txt
file.

other dozen or so uses are in the web page code. I'll do those next.

of certain SNMP requests that turned out to be broken with both BLOCK

but a good start.

This document is geared towards non-federated sites. Many of the steps
herein (such as creating node types and interface types) will probably
happen through some other database replication method once we're
federating testbeds rather than creating disconnected clones.

defaults back to whatever TBOPSEMAIL is.

Still uses enums for things like node types, pending creation of some sort
of database consistency checker.

defines.

it is converted into a proper config.h file in the object directory.
Look for AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED in configure.in. This removes some of the
headache of defining variables for C code in the makefiles. Be sure
sure to add -I.. to CFLAGS and include "config.h" in your source code.

conflict. That needs to be addressed.
