What Myrmex Can Do
Read & troubleshoot
Inspect interfaces, VLANs, port status, PoE, MAC and ARP tables, and the running configuration — read-only diagnostics, on demand.
Hardening audit
Run a Security Posture audit against the switch configuration.
Document the network
Map VLANs, trunks, and port assignments so your topology stays documented.
Config management
Back up, diff, and — on approval — apply configuration changes.
Before You Start
- A Collector deployed on a network that can reach the switch’s management IP over SSH. See Deploying the agent.
- SSH enabled on the switch’s management interface.
- A login account Myrmex can use (a read-only user is enough for analysis; a user with configuration rights is required to apply changes).
Step 1 — Create the Access Account on Intelbras
1
Enable SSH on the switch
In the switch management interface, enable the SSH server so the Collector can log in over SSH.
2
Create a user account
Add a user with a strong password and a privilege level scoped to what Myrmex should do — a read-only level for analysis, or an admin level to allow changes.
3
Note the credentials
Record the username and password — you’ll enter them in Myrmex.
