This repository contains structured data for router models from multiple manufacturers. The data was aggregated from NetBox Device Type Library, LLM-assisted parsing of datasheets, and manual curation.

Overview

This repository is structured as follows:

router-models/
├── arista
│   └── <router_model_name>
├── cisco
│   └── <series_name>
│       (└── <router_model_name>)
└── juniper
    └── <router_model_name>

Files per router model:

filtered_netbox.yaml      # Data extracted from the NetBox Device Type Library
general_llm.yaml          # Data extracted from manufacturer datasheets via LLM prompting
manual.yaml               # (Optional) Only exists if data has been manually verified

For Cisco router models, cisco/<series_name>/ contains series-level metadata. If a series has multiple models, each model lives under cisco/<series_name>/<router_model_name>/.

Additional Cisco files:

date_llm.yaml             # Date information extracted from Cisco datasheets via LLM prompting
series.yaml               # Series information extracted manually

Eventually, all data from all available sources is merged into a single file per router model:

merged.yaml               # Merged data from all sources, manually extracted data overrides others

Retrieving Data

All router models can be downloaded as a single csv file here.

Contributing

We welcome contributions to expand and improve the data. Here’s how you can contribute:

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/nsg-ethz/NetworkPowerZoo-Hardware-Inventory.git

2. Add a new router model

   • Create the folder following the layout above.
   • Copy router-model-template.yml into the new folder as manual.yaml.
   • Fill in accurate attributes for the model.
   • Duplicate manual.yaml as merged.yaml.

3. Verify or correct an existing model

   • Create (or edit) manual.yaml in the model folder.
   • Review merged.yaml.
   • If all attributes are correct, keep manual.yaml empty.
   • If any attribute is incorrect or missing, add only the changed/missing fields to manual.yaml and update merged.yaml accordingly.

4. Submit a pull request with your changes.
