Automate Cisco Routers. Meant for Exporting scripts to configure routers, adding other devices soon :).

Network Simulator

This project is a network simulator built with Python's Tkinter library. It allows you to create and manage network elements such as routers, and visually connect them to simulate a network.

Features

• Create network elements (routers)
• Move network elements within the canvas
• Connect network elements with visual lines
• Edit properties of network elements
• Save and load configurations

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x

Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/network-simulator.git
cd network-simulator

Code Overview

Main Components

• ElementGroup: Class to manage individual network elements.
• Network: Class to manage the overall network, including routers and connections.

Key Functions

• center_bottom_menu_position: Centers and positions the menu at the bottom of the canvas.
• start_move: Initializes the movement of network elements.
• move: Handles the movement of network elements.
• update_connections: Updates the positions of connections between elements.
• bind_events: Binds events to network elements.
• create_elements: Creates network elements on the canvas.
• __edit_text: Allows editing of text properties of elements.
• __save_text: Saves edited text properties of elements.
• create_input_fields: Creates input fields for element properties.

• create_connection: Creates a connection between two routers.

Future Updates:

• Ability to export commands
• Create RIP class to allow for the option rather than automatic configuration
• Create OSPF class to allow for OSPF configuration
• Create ability to save router as a csv file to be read in later.
• N for new router
• A to add an interface for the current router
• S to save only the currently selected router script.
• QQ to quit the application
• R for a reminder of options as a menu popup
