Router Configuration

[dogangoko]

Hi,

I've been researching about router configuration ( auto configuration wizard ) by Visual Basic. I've found out a software which actually does this. But as i'm not experienced in Visual Basic i couldn't figure out. The sample is here, i guess it was coded by Visual Basic : http://www.turktelekom.com.tr/ModemA...m_programi.zip

I'd like to do the same application for my router which is a dlink dsl-524t. Does this program use SNMP, telnet or which way ? How can i save the config the router by visual basic ?

Best Regards

You can access the router by SNMP (that's what D-Link's program uses), but why? Are you constantly changing the configuration? Or is this just an intellectual exercise?

Well, we can consider it as an intellectual exercise or a way to make my life easier. Because, i usually setup routers for people and i don't want to do it manually everytime. That's why i'd like to make a software ( wizard ) which will do this for me.

So would u give some hints on how to use this SNMP protocol ( i've knowledge about it ) with Visual Basic and D-link products.

Thanks, Best Regards.

You'd have to contact D-Link and get their SNMP protocol as a start.

They never answer

Anyway, now i can configure it by telnet. They use cm_cli, it's something i've never really found out some information but, by using variables in the modem, you can set them..

The next problem is i'd like to test the connection between DSLAM and router. Do u know any way of doing this ?

Not that short a test - test it between a known site and the router. Connect to Google or Microsoft.
