Credentials & targets
Load temporary credentials once per session, maintain reusable target lists, and map devices to working credential sets without persisting passwords to disk.
Network engineering · Local desktop utility
Repeatable network operations without the sprawl.
Network Toolbelt gives network engineers one local workspace for temporary credentials, target mapping, controlled command execution, maintenance pre/post checks, focused scanners, and reviewable exports.
Core workflows
Built around the work network engineers actually repeat.
Controlled commands
Run ad-hoc operational commands through policy modes that range from safe read-only to explicitly enabled unsafe execution.
Maintenance pre/post
Capture pre-change and post-change snapshots under a shared run ID, then compare configuration hashes, neighbors, interfaces, logs, and other operational signals.
Network scanners
Run focused scanners for interface errors, port-channels and LACP, optics, routing neighbors, logs, inventory, and advertised or received routes.
Reviewable output
Export complete run folders as ZIP archives or merge text-oriented output into a single review-friendly file for archiving and analysis.
Cisco-first today
Current first-class support targets Cisco IOS / IOS-XE, NX-OS, and ASA, with broader vendor support planned as the tool grows.
Safe by default
Useful automation without hiding the operational risk.
Network Toolbelt is designed to make repeatable network work easier while keeping credentials, command safety, and output handling visible to the operator.
In-memory credentials
Passwords, enable secrets, and credential mappings are intended to stay in memory and are cleared when the application closes.
Redacted capture
Redacted output is the default. The application attempts to remove common passwords, communities, keys, pre-shared secrets, certificates, and similar sensitive values.
Command policy modes
Generic Command Runner distinguishes Safe Read-Only, Expanded Operational, and Unsafe Allowed modes instead of treating every command as equivalent.
Raw output stays available
Scanner parsers are best-effort. Operators can review raw or redacted source output before acting on summarized findings.
Current repository version: v2.92. Network Toolbelt is an operational utility for qualified network personnel; command output and findings should be reviewed before making changes.
