NCM 5.5.1 Interface scripting / changes

jon0966

Hi,

Let's say I wish to apply the command "load-interval 30" to all of my interfaces hosted on Cisco devices running IOS. How would I achieve this if my inventory contains a dozen different Cisco switch models with a variable number of interfaces per device?

Also, how would I be able to send a global command to enable bpduguard on all Cisco switches with a custom property of "region = north america", but IOS/CATOS command specific? For example, the IOS command would be "CatSwitch-IOS(config)# errdisable recovery cause bpduguard", but the CATOS specific command is "Console> (enable) set errdisable-timeout enable bpdu-guard"?

The way I currently do it is to have a line in a script that selects the first 24 ports then the commands I want to run the a line that selects the remaining 24 ports and the commands I want to run on those, it errors for any of the 24 port devices but works. You can break it down further if you have smaller switches.

conf t

int range fa0/1 - 24

switchport access vlan 2

int range fa0/25 - 48

switchport access vlan 2

exit

When it comes to 3750 stacks I just have a line for each switch in the stack with the commands I want to use.

conf t

int range fa1/0/1 - 48

switchport access vlan 2

int range fa2/0/1 - 48

switchport access vlan 2

etc

This works for us and I know the guys are looking into advanced scripting so it might be more dynamic in the future.

Thanks

Jon

Can you send me a private message? I'm not sure it's possible to do what you're asking, but I'd like to discuss some of the things we're working on to get your feedback.

For others interested in similar use-cases that require access to NCM inventory and some control logic around scripting, please send me a PM as well!
