Good day,
there is equipment cisco 2960/3750/5510/2851/871
Is there a convenient program for viewing and configuring this equipment, since using the console is somehow not very convenient.
walking around the cisco website, I came across a cisco network assistant, but cisco has a whole bunch of programs for managing various equipment, most are paid and closed for download, and the description is extremely vague and interface pictures are also not easy to find

telnet - better not yet invented.
If you have a lot of them - look towards the NOC Project. But for a beginner, it is not clear at all.

You can try the WEB interface, Cisco Configuration Professional.

At the very beginning of communication with cisco 2960, I used CDM (screenshot1), for 2851 SDM (screenshot2). These are GUI environments for managing this family of devices. there is a feature (at least 2851SDM). I was able to access the interface only through IE6.0 (WinXP SP2 on a virtual machine, "classic" image, not a build). 2960 also has features, but solvable. I don’t remember where I downloaded it from and how I installed it now, but since it didn’t remain in my memory, it wasn’t difficult. It is clear that now they are rather "memory", I work through the console. But at the very beginning it turned out to be a decision to quickly "pick up the fallen banner" (to replace the Admin who died under tragic circumstances (with a capital letter), RIP).

Oh yes, "the last century", you say, "Nokia" you say? The other day they brought a modern ASUS router, "can you set up a VPN?". I looked at the web face - there is a button - I can, probably. And indeed, VPN rose in a couple of clicks. But a line appeared in the route table with a default through VPN, you can fix it through telnet, before rebooting.
How I wanted it to be a tsiska without a web muzzle....
