Switchboard
A self-hosted monitor for the school’s own network hardware — access points, switches, printers and edge infrastructure. Ping and SNMP, on our own kit, inside our own network.
Why it has no link
Switchboard runs on a virtual machine on the school network and is reached from there. It is deliberately not published to the internet: a live map of the school’s network hardware is exactly the sort of thing that should not be reachable from outside it.
So this page stands in for the app in the gallery. The app itself is open to the Tech Team on the school network.
What it does
- Watches access points, switches, printers and edge devices by ping and SNMP
- Keeps an inventory of what is on the network and what state it is in
- Alerts when something stops answering, without exporting the map off-site
Getting to it
On the school network, ask the Tech Team for the dashboard address. It is not listed here on purpose.
