Config Change Templates

JBall

Greetings All,

I'm getting started with the config change templates.  Watched Josh's training video and read the documentation.  Just to get started I downloaded the same script that is in the video (Change VLAN membership on ports) but when I go to select the interface list, no interfaces appear.  Instead I get the message 'No entities'.  I've tried this on several different Cisco 3750's with the same result.  I don't see where this script has a restriction on the IOS version of code on the Cisco switch so clearly I'm missing something fundamental here. 

<<O.k.  I now see in the notes this script was only tested on a 2950.  Additionally it looks as if it also needs the InterfaceName to return the actual interface.  For me on a 3750 this is not returning the interface port number as described in the documentation. 

Anyone have this working on a 3750?

Thanks!

So it seems like the following code should set all the interface descriptions on a switch.  But it appears that the @interfaces.InterfaceName property does not return the text name of the interface on a 3750 and so the script fails.  I can get hostnames and password changes to work using this script language on 3750's but when it comes to interacting with the interfaces I'm having no success at all.

/*

Cisco, interface, description, properties

.PLATFORM_DESCRIPTION

.PARAMETER_LABEL @ContextNode

        NCM node

.PARAMETER_DESCRIPTION @ContextNode

        The node the template will operate on.  All templates require this by default. The target node is selected during the first part of the wizard so it will not be available for selection when defining values of variables.

script ChangeInterfaceDescription (NCM.Nodes @ContextNode)

  {

    // Enter configuration mode

      CLI 

        {

          configure terminal

        }

      foreach (@Interface in @ContextNode.Interfaces)

      {

  CLI

              {

                interface @Interface.InterfaceName

                description Connected to foobar

              }       

            CLI

              {

                exit

              }

        }

   }

Has anyone had any luck scripting interface mod's for 3750's?
