The university lab wants the ability to modify settings on the 24-port TRENDnet switch without having to load the web interface. Unfortunately the TRENDnet switch does not come with a command line enabled, and also does not support SSH tunneling for remote use. The goal of the project is to create an API that would allow the university lab to modify settings in the switch from a command line.
As of November 2017, a majority of the API is complete. The script that enables/disables a specific port is complete and has been successfully tested in a test environment. A new script is being written that would produce the port number of a device based on the MAC address entered when the script is ran. Once the port number is obtained, the enable/disable script can be used.
