NCM script to append description based on trunk mode

First, I am not apposed to using a compliance report or a config change template or a combination of the two.

Right now I have a compliance report that will check each interface for Mode Trunk, if that entry is found, it is failed. Then I understand I can easily change the description to what I need for all interfaces in violation using config block start. but what I need to do is append the description. I know I can do this in a change template using the description variable, but would be easier to somehow pass the exisiting description to a CLI command, but if I have to use a config change template with the compliance report I need a way to ensure it is running only on failed interfaces, and I will need to automate the whole thing to run automatically on an interval.

any suggestions would be much helpful.

That is an interesting problem you have. I would try a compliance policy, advanced with a config block check and have it match against the interface and description lines. I am not sure it it will work as I intend, but I think it will. Please let me know if this works for you or if you have issues so I can try to help further.
