<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hello Andreas, <br>
<br>
Sorry for the delay, we somehow miss your email until now. <br>
<br>
Unfortunately, it is not possible to directly manage with Rudder
anything but system with a supported OS on it (due to agent-based
nature of it). <br>
<br>
We are discussing the possibility to have a new kind of agent-less
support for such kinds of devices, where actually the nearest
policy server will do the job and contact/manage them through
their API (or ssh or whatever they allow). In the same broad of
ideas, we are thinking about how to support ansible (the execution
model is roughly the same). <br>
<br>
But to be honest, this nowhere near completion - we are still at
the drawing board on these subjects. Having a sponsored use case
would greatly help to make them move forward faster. <br>
<br>
In the meantime, you can still use the scripts you may already
have to manage these devices and run them from a node managed by
Rudder (I know it's nowhere near a good, not even a good enough
solution, but it can help automate the thing). <br>
<br>
I fear I can't help you much more on that subject. Hope it still
helps a little. <br>
<br>
Have a good day !<br>

<pre wrap="">Hello,
I was just wondering if it is possible to use rudder to manage other types of nodes. How would one go about managing ethernet switches for example? Firmware version and firmware update? Has this been discussed before?
Cheers,
Andreas
