ProSafeLinux (psl-cli.py)

Query and set data on GS105E and GS108E Netgear ProSafe switches.

These are known to work:

GS105E 1.02.04
GS108Ev2 1.00.12
GS108Ev3 2.06.08EN (replies come via unicast)

Using psl-cli.py

 usage: psl-cli.py [-h] [--interface INTERFACE] [--debug]
               [--timeout TIMEOUT]
               {discover,exploit,query,query_raw,set} ...

Older switch firmware (before 2018?) returns responses to the broadcast address.
Newer switch firmware (after 2018?) return responses to the sender.
If your interface is not eth0 please specify it, when you call psl.py.

Examples

Gives an overview of all available options

./psl.py --help

Discover all ProSafe switches on the local network

./psl.py --interface eth1 discover

Set 802.1Q VLAN VID for port 4 to 1

./psl-cli.py  set --passwd "password" --mac B0:B9:8A:57:F6:56 --vlan_pvid 4 1

Query all ports for their 802.1Q VLAN port VID

./psl-cli.py query --mac B0:B9:8A:57:F6:56 vlan_pvid

Dependencies

Required for cross-platform support of MacOS & Linux.

pip install netifaces

Supported Platforms

"discover" and "query" were recently tested on

MacOS 10.15 with python 2.7
Raspbian Linux 4.19.66-v7+ with python 2.7

Known issues

Discovery only identifies the first switch that answers.

Newer switches that have web servers may have "Switch Management Mode" set to "Web browser only", which will result in the switch only responding to discovery requests. To use this software, you may login to the web UI and set "Switch Management Mode" to "Web browser and Plus Utility".

"query all" sometimes produces inconsistent results. More reliable responses seem to occur when you query one item at at time.

Help wanted

Im sorry I am not active at this project anymore. It is open-source so perhaps you could find soneone who can help you.

I have found a security problem with this switch and was very disappointed in the answer from netgear. They need more than 6 Month to fix it and want the ethernet adress of it

Because of this, I do not use this switch anymore.
