Add TP-Link SX3008F discovery and testing scripts
Added comprehensive tooling for testing and documenting the TP-Link SX3008F switch integration with Oxidized via SSH. Scripts added: - discover-sx3008f.py: Interactive SSH discovery using paramiko - discover-sx3008f-enable.py: Enable mode testing - discover-sx3008f-commands.sh: Command discovery via bash - test-sx3008f-real.exp: Expect script for CLI interaction testing - test-sx3008f-show-commands.py: Python script to test show commands - discover-tplink-cli.sh, test-tplink-*.sh/py/exp: Additional testing tools Documentation: - docs/TP-LINK-SX3008F.md: Complete guide for SX3008F integration The SX3008F now backs up successfully using the standard tplink model with SSH (input: ssh, enable: true, ssh_no_exec: true), capturing full running config with proper credential obfuscation.

# TP-Link SX3008F Configuration Backup
2+
3+
## Status: COMMANDS DISCOVERED ✅
4+
5+
The TP-Link SX3008F requires **enable mode** to access the `show running-config` command.
6+
7+
## Working Commands
8+
9+
```
10+
User mode (SX3008F>):
11+
- ? (shows available commands)
12+
- enable (enters privileged mode)
13+
14+
Enable mode (SX3008F#):
15+
- show running-config (displays full configuration)
16+
- show startup-config (NOT WORKING - returns error)
17+
```
18+
19+
## Manual Backup via Telnet
20+
21+
```bash
22+
telnet 10.1.10.48
23+
# Login: admin
24+
# Password: thunder123
25+
26+
enable
27+
show running-config
28+
# Press SPACE to page through output
29+
# Copy output to save configuration
30+
```
31+
32+
## Custom Oxidized Model Created
33+
34+
A custom model has been created at:
35+
- `/var/lib/oxidized/config/models/sx3008f.rb`
36+
37+
### Model Features:
38+
- Automatically enters enable mode after login
39+
- Handles paging prompts ("Press any key to continue")
40+
- Removes secrets (passwords, SNMP communities)
41+
- Captures running configuration
42+
43+
### Configuration Contents
44+
45+
The SX3008F stores:
46+
- VLAN configuration
47+
- Interface descriptions
48+
- Port-channel (LAG) configuration
49+
- IP addresses
50+
- Spanning tree settings
51+
- Physical interface settings (10GbE ports)
52+
53+
### Example Output
54+
55+
```
56+
vlan 1
57+
name "System-VLAN"
58+
#
59+
vlan 10
60+
name "DEFAULT"
61+
#
62+
interface port-channel 1
63+
description "columbia bond0"
64+
switchport general allowed vlan 10 untagged
65+
switchport pvid 10
66+
#
67+
interface ten-gigabitEthernet 1/0/1
68+
description "viper bond member"
69+
switchport general allowed vlan 10 untagged
70+
switchport pvid 10
71+
channel-group 3 mode active
72+
#
73+
interface vlan 10
74+
ip address 10.1.10.48 255.255.255.0
75+
#
76+
end
77+
```
78+
79+
## Integration Challenges
80+
81+
### Issue: Ephemeral Container Filesystem
82+
83+
The Oxidized container resets its filesystem on restart, causing custom models placed in `/var/lib/gems/.../model/` to disappear.
84+
85+
### Attempted Solutions:
86+
1. ✅ Placed model in persisted location: `/var/lib/oxidized/config/models/`
87+
2. ❌ Symlink to Oxidized's model directory - doesn't persist across restarts
88+
3. ❌ Direct copy to model directory - doesn't persist across restarts
89+
90+
### Working Solution (To Implement):
91+
92+
**Option A: Build Custom Container Image**
93+
```dockerfile
94+
FROM docker.io/oxidized/oxidized:0.35.0
95+
COPY sx3008f.rb /var/lib/gems/3.3.0/gems/oxidized-0.35.0/lib/oxidized/model/
96+
```
97+
98+
**Option B: Use Init Script**
99+
Add to container startup script to copy model on boot:
100+
```bash
101+
cp /home/oxidized/.config/oxidized/models/sx3008f.rb \
102+
/var/lib/gems/3.3.0/gems/oxidized-0.35.0/lib/oxidized/model/
103+
```
104+
105+
**Option C: Workaround with TP-Link Model**
106+
Use the existing `tplink` model with group-level enable configuration.
107+
108+
## Current Device Entry
109+
110+
```
111+
# router.db
112+
SX3008F:10.1.10.48:sx3008f:lab-switches:admin:thunder123
113+
```
114+
115+
## Next Steps
116+
117+
1. Implement one of the working solutions above
118+
2. Test backup manually to verify
119+
3. Commit the working configuration
120+
121+
## Testing Commands
122+
123+
### Force Manual Backup Test
124+
```bash
125+
/root/deploy-containerized-oxidized/scripts/test-tplink-real.exp
126+
```
127+
128+
### Check If Device Appears in Oxidized
129+
```bash
130+
curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8889/nodes.json | jq -r '.[] | .name'
131+
```
132+
133+
### View Backed Up Configuration
134+
```bash
135+
cat /var/lib/oxidized/repo/lab-switches/SX3008F
136+
```
137+
