چکیده

The cfengine program is used to configure Unix machines. It is a policy engine which reads a file describing a policy how a system should be configured and tries to enforce this policy. The scli program is an SNMP management program which has among other features the ability to configure VLANs. The goal of this project is to integrate cfengine and scli so that the former can monitor and configure SNMP enabled devices via the latter. For this purpose a communication protocol has to be developed and the implementations of the two tools have to be adapted so that they can support the protocol.
