ShellYard for Network Engineers

Modern infrastructure tools
for network work.

Connect to devices, run diagnostics, inspect configs, manage docs and IPAM, and keep troubleshooting context together — in one desktop workspace.

Connections

SSH, serial, RDP, VNC, AWS SSM, and browser sessions in one window.

Reach the gear the way you need to. Console-server serial for out-of-band, SSH for routine work, RDP for Windows jumpboxes, built-in VNC for headless Linux / IoT panels / lab KVMs, AWS SSM for cloud edge, and an in-app browser session for vendor admin panels — all in one tabbed workspace. Saved connections live in the active Space, scoped by client, lab, or site.

Network diagnostics

DNS, MTR, Nmap, TLS, SNMP, syslog, packet capture — built in.

30+ network tools next to the connection: forward/reverse DNS, MTR with latency, Nmap port scan, TLS certificate inspection, WHOIS / RDAP, NTP probe, SNMP browser with bundled MIBs, syslog viewer, packet capture, AP scanner, file transfer (TFTP / FTP / SFTP). No more flipping between five separate utilities.

Config backup and diff

Pull configs. See what changed.

Pull device configs through saved connections, diff against prior backups, and annotate the change inside a runbook in the same Space. Magellan can summarize what changed between two backups and call out config drift in plain English.

Docs and IPAM

Subnets, hosts, runbooks, and network overviews in the Space.

IPAM (subnets + hosts) lives next to the connections and runbooks for the site or lab. Inline subnet calculator. Network overviews, equipment inventories, and switch-replacement runbooks stay in the same workspace as the SSH session you used to write them.

Magellan

Ask AI about the output you just saw.

Attach a packet capture, an SNMP walk, an MTR trace, a switch config diff, or syslog lines — Magellan explains anomalies, suggests next checks, or drafts a customer-facing summary. BYO Anthropic / OpenAI / Gemini / Ollama key. Operators always run the command.

Spaces

One Space per lab, site, or environment.

Keep production, staging, lab, and customer environments cleanly separated. Each Space has its own connections, IPAM, credentials, audit log, and Magellan context. Cross-Space search is opt-in only — production stays production.

Try the network engineer workflow.

Free is enough to evaluate every diagnostic and connection type. Pro unlocks persistent collections, cloud sync, and HTTP through SSH. Team adds Shared Spaces, audit export, and the IT Glue / Hudu importers.
