Implemented Features
Chat API (implemented/chat-api.md)
The core Chat API that enables AI-powered conversations within GNS3 projects.
Key Features:
- Server-Sent Events (SSE) for streaming responses
- Project-level session isolation
- Session management (CRUD operations)
- Statistics tracking (messages, tokens, LLM calls)
- User-level LLM configuration
Status: ✅ Implemented
LLM Model Configs (implemented/llm-model-configs.md)
Multi-level LLM model configuration system.
Key Features:
- System-wide defaults
- Group-level configurations
- User-level overrides
- Runtime parameter adjustment
- Model provider abstraction
Status: ✅ Implemented
Command Security (implemented/command-security.md)
Security framework for AI-generated commands.
Key Features:
- Command filtering and validation
- Dangerous operation detection
- HITL (Human-in-the-Loop) confirmations
- Audit logging
Status: ✅ Implemented
Context Window Management (implemented/context-window-management.md)
Optimization strategies for handling large project contexts.
Key Features:
- Intelligent content filtering
- Token usage optimization
- Summary generation
- Context compression
Status: ✅ Implemented
Node Control Tools (implemented/node-control-tools.md)
Tools for controlling network device lifecycle in GNS3 projects.
Key Features:
- Start nodes with progress tracking
- Quick start for automated workflows
- Stop nodes for lab shutdown
- Batch operations support
- Mode-based access control
Status: ✅ Implemented
Multi-Vendor Device Support (implemented/multi-vendor-device-support.md)
Multi-vendor network device support with custom Netmiko driver for Huawei devices.
Key Features:
- Custom HuaweiTelnetCE driver for GNS3 emulation (no authentication)
- Cisco IOS Telnet support
- Dynamic device type detection from GNS3 tags
- Automatic Nornir group generation
- VRP-specific command handling (system-view, return confirmation)
Tested Vendors:
- Cisco IOS (Telnet)
- Huawei CloudEngine (Telnet, custom driver)
Status: ✅ Implemented
Future Enhancements
The following features are currently under consideration or development:
- Configuration Templates: Template-based configuration generation for multi-vendor network devices
- Vision-based Topology Creation: Create network topologies from images/diagrams
- Enhanced HITL Workflows: Advanced Human-in-the-Loop confirmation patterns
- Web UI Enhancements: Improved management interfaces
