Kindly clarify.


Hi

For Network Management, a common choice you didn't mention is Perl,
mostly because there's a huge set of modules on http://www.cpan.org
for almost every networking task at hand. Networking guys seem to love
Perl.

As an example, you can get something like Net::Telnet::Cisco which
handles all the quirks in the implementation. Detecting all of the
subtle problems in Cisco's Telnet Server and working around them will
take you days in every other language.

Other gems include (random picks):
Net::SNMP::Interfaces::Details
SNMP::Info::CiscoQOS
Net::Netmask
Net::CDP::IPPrefix

I don't recommend Perl in many situations, but Network Management
would be one of them.

Christian
