NetConfigPro

A network configuration generator and validator for multi-vendor network devices.

Features

• Multi-vendor support: Generate configurations for Cisco IOS/IOS-XE, NX-OS, Arista EOS, Juniper Junos, SONiC, and Fortinet FortiGate
• Configuration validation: Catch errors and get best-practice recommendations before deployment
• Import & analyze: Parse existing configurations and identify issues
• Configuration diff: Compare two configurations side-by-side
• Secure vault: Encrypted storage for credentials and sensitive variables
• Modern GUI: Clean, dark-themed interface with PySide6

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone <repo-url>
cd netconfigpro

# Create virtual environment (recommended)
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

# Run the application
python main.py

Quick Start

1. Generate Configuration

   • Select your target vendor (Cisco IOS, NX-OS, Arista EOS, Juniper, SONiC, Fortinet)
   • Fill in hostname, interfaces, VLANs, routing configuration
   • Click "Generate" or press Ctrl+G
   • Review validation results and export

2. Import Configuration

   • Paste an existing configuration or open a file
   • Click "Parse Configuration"
   • Review parsed elements and validation issues

3. Compare Configurations

   • Use the Diff tab to compare two configurations
   • See additions, deletions, and changes highlighted

4. Secure Vault

   • Create a vault with a master password
   • Store credentials and template variables securely
   • All data is encrypted at rest

SONiC Support

SONiC configurations are generated in config_db.json format with support for:

• DEVICE_METADATA: Hostname, BGP ASN, device type
• PORT: Interface configuration with MTU (default 9100)
• INTERFACE / LOOPBACK_INTERFACE: L3 addressing
• VLAN / VLAN_MEMBER / VLAN_INTERFACE: VLAN configuration
• OSPF_ROUTER / OSPF_ROUTER_AREA / OSPF_INTERFACE: OSPF routing
• BGP_NEIGHBOR: BGP peering with rmt_asn field format
• STATIC_ROUTE: Static routing
• ACL_TABLE / ACL_RULE: L3 ACLs
• NTP_SERVER / DNS_NAMESERVER: Management services

Interface naming is automatically converted:

• GigabitEthernet0/0 → Ethernet0
• Ethernet0/1 → Ethernet1 (slot/port to flat numbering)
• Loopback0 → Loopback0

Fortinet FortiGate Support

FortiGate configurations are generated in FortiOS CLI format with support for:

• config system global: Hostname, FQDN
• config system interface: Interface configuration with IP, status, MTU
• config system dns / ntp: Management services
• config router static: Static routing
• config router ospf: OSPF with areas, interfaces, passive interfaces
• config router bgp: BGP neighbors, networks, redistribution
• config router prefix-list / route-map: Policy configuration
• config firewall address / policy: ACL to firewall policy conversion

Interface naming is automatically converted:

• GigabitEthernet0/0 → port1
• Ethernet1 → port2 (1-indexed)
• Loopback0 → loopback0
