Cisco access-layer network automation for real switch work.
Discover topology, collect switch facts, infer VLAN/interface intent, generate reviewed configs, deploy with approval, verify results, and preserve rollback context.
Operator-controlled workflow
Built around review, approval, verification, and rollback context.
Core capabilities
Built for real network operations
Sikoshi Network Engine is designed for MSP network automation, network discovery, VLAN mapping, switch configuration workflow review, controlled deployment, and rollback awareness.
Network Discovery
Collect switch facts and topology context from the live environment before deciding what should change.
VLAN Mapping
Use interface, VLAN, and endpoint evidence to reason about where ports belong.
Config Generation
Generate proposed interface changes from collected facts, then keep the operator in the review path.
Controlled Deployment
Review, approve, deploy, verify, and keep a rollback path instead of pushing blind changes.
Brownfield Ready
Built for existing Cisco access-layer environments where documentation is often incomplete.
Cisco-First
Focused on making a narrow Cisco switch workflow credible before expanding vendor coverage.
Workflow
From discovery to rollback awareness
The product is built around a straightforward operator flow instead of hidden tuning and brittle manual steps.
Discover
Scan the environment and collect topology, device, VLAN, and interface context.
Map
Infer VLAN and interface intent from live evidence before proposing changes.
Generate
Build reviewed configuration changes from current network state.
Deploy
Apply approved changes through an operator-driven workflow.
Verify
Collect post-change checks so results can be reviewed and audited.
Rollback awareness
Preserve rollback context before production changes are made.
Technical proof
See the workflow in context
Technical reviewers should be able to inspect the workflow end to end.
Discovery and topology
How discovery frames the live switch fabric: neighbors, VLAN context, and what the workflow is about to touch.
Before and after config
Interface-level before/after views so reviewers can see exactly what Sikoshi proposes before anything is applied.
Generated config preview
Generated changes stay reviewable in-product so approval is explicit, not implied.
Verification output
Post-change checks you can audit: interface state, VLAN membership, and command output that backs up the result.
Direct answer
Is this just open-source tools with a web UI?
Sikoshi Network Engine is not positioned as a dashboard over a scanner. The value is the controlled workflow: discovery, switch fact collection, VLAN/interface inference, config generation, human approval, deployment, verification, and rollback.
Ideal use cases
Best fit: recurring Cisco access-layer work
Sikoshi Network Engine is intended for teams that repeatedly audit, clean up, and standardize switch environments across client or internal sites.
Positioning
What Sikoshi is, and what it is not
The product is meant to support experienced operators and make repeated work safer. It is not a replacement for network judgment.
