Overview

CMDLAB Toolbox is a curated collection of small, production-minded tools for network engineers. Each project lives in its own folder, runs independently, and keeps your credentials on your machine (or in your browser)—not in a third-party SaaS account.

Audience	Network admins, MSP engineers, and lab operators
Focus	HPE Aruba Central, AOS-CX, ClearPass, GreenLake
Model	Free & open source (MIT) · optional support via donation
Secrets	Never committed — see SECURITY.md

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/cmdlabtech/Toolbox.git
cd Toolbox

Open the tool folder you need and follow its README. Common entry points:

# NetWatch (Python 3.11+)
cd netwatch && python3 netwatch.py

# GreenLake AP licensing — hosted (no install)
# https://ap-license-report.admin2655.workers.dev/

# GreenLake AP licensing — local UI
cd greenlake-ap-licensing
pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py    # http://localhost:8321

# ClearPass Endpoint Console
open clearpass-endpoint-console/index.html

Windows AOS-CX backups: use the prebuilt EXE or build from aos-cx-config-backup/.

Design principles

• No account required for Toolbox itself — you supply vendor API credentials only when a tool needs them.
• Local-first — NetWatch and the GreenLake Flask UI bind to localhost; the ClearPass console keeps tokens in memory only.
• Source-focused repo — binaries ship via GitHub Releases where available; this tree is for reading, building, and contributing.
• Transparent security — samples are synthetic; maintainer secrets are never stored here (SECURITY.md).

Contributing

1. Keep each tool self-contained under its folder.
2. Do not commit secrets, config.ini, virtualenvs, node_modules, or built binaries.
3. Prefer small, focused fixes with a short note on the environment you tested (OS, firmware, API type).
