Configuring Cisco router through ASP.NET 2.0

OK, so how do you do interactive programming of the Cisco device using the cool .NET 2.0 System.IO.Ports.SerialPort class? Here's a sample. This sample will work with Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2. I built a website project based on the filesystem (i.e., not on IIS or FTP). The web page gives you a dropdown list to choose from amongst COM1, COM2, and COM3, lets you type the enable password in a text box and the command to run. It then displays the result of the command into a label. What you can do with it is only limited by your imagination. Enjoy again!

Oh, your comments are very valuable. I'm glad you posted them. I agree about SNMP, no authentication, not a good idea. Even if you restrict to some trusted IP sources, you are prone to IP spoofing.
