====== Welcome to OpenRRCP project home ======

===== What is this all about? =====
RRCP(Realtek Remote Configuration Protocol) is protocol for making some specific low-cost dumb ethernet switches act like more expensive managed switches with no or little hardware modifications.

OpenRRCP is an open-source cross-platform RRCP-based toolset, that is able to configure and fetch status from such ethernet switches.

See [[wiki:RRCP]] for more details.

See [[wiki:Hardware]] for full list of supported hardware.

See [[wiki:RRCP security]] for info about security model and considerations.


===== Status =====

Linux/FreeBSD and [[wiki:RTL8316B]]/[[wiki:RTL8316BP]]/[[wiki:RTL8324]]/[[wiki:RTL8324P]]/[[wiki:RTL8326]]/[[wiki:RTL8326S]] are supported at the moment. Specific support for [[wiki:hardware#supported_switches|number]] of switches is added and more to come. Potentially, any UNIX system with libpcap and libdnet should be reasonable to port. Considerable efforts are putting now into creating rrcp_cli, an implementaionof cisco catalyst-like configuration interface for RRCP-enables switches.

===== Tools =====

Currently, there are two tools:

[[rtl83xx]] - historicaly first and relatively mature OpenRRCP tool. It employs traditional unix command-line style to control RRCP-enables switches.

and

[[rrcpcli]] - this one intended to make full-featured CLI dialog-style interface to any RRCP-enabled switch. Currently in alpha-quality.






===== File releases =====

[[https://sourceforge.net/projects/openrrcp/files/openrrcp/openrrcp-0.2.1.tar.gz|openrrcp-0.2.1.tar.gz]]

Notes for *BSD:

* libdnet is required

* you may want to try a [[/download/bsd/openrrcp-freebsd-port.tgz|FreeBSD port]]



===== SVN Trunk =====

Currently, active development is going on, so trying SVN Trunk for new features is a good idea:

<code>svn co http://openrrcp.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/openrrcp/trunk/</code>

See [[svn|here]] for some details how to use SVN.
