Re: [BangPypers] generating cisco config using templates?
Thanks for the example Nitin. This would work if yaml config file is a simple dictionary. In my case it is a bit complicated with dictionary and dictionary of list. What I have ended up doing is convert the create an object of the yaml data and pass on individual dictionaries and lists to template.rendrer. Works for me as I can now access individual dictionaries using the object in a pythonic way. I'll post the example on github once I am done with the code. (There are still a couple of challenges related to snmp user configuration of cisco devices. Cheers, Atul On Wed, Sep 30, 2015 at 10:07 PM, Nitin Kumar wrote: > Hi Atul, > > You can refer below link.

Re: [BangPypers] generating cisco config using templates?
As I said I have not explored salt for network devices yet. It's more for system build automation. For this network device requirement I ended up writing my own python script to push the config to device. We can probably use salt-ssh to integrate that into salt but I haven't explored it yet.

Re: [BangPypers] generating cisco config using templates?
By the way I use salt here but it does not have a out of the box way to manage network devices. Proxy stuff seemed too complicated to me so haven't even given it a shot.

Re: [BangPypers] generating cisco config using templates?
Idea is to provision mds switches based on datacenter specifications. Since the template would be consistent I can generate multiple configs depending on what dc yaml is passed. We dont use ansible here so I have already written a python script usin netmiko to connect, scp the config to startup-config and the reload the device. Only missing peice right now is generating thw config. On 30 Sep 2015 19:58, "sayantan bhattacharya" wrote: > Can you please specify what configuration you are trying to generate?

[BangPypers] generating cisco config using templates?
Hi All, Has anyone tried to generate the cisco switch config using yaml + jinja. Any experience, best practices or ideas that you might want to share? I am trying to do this. It seems simple with a very basic yaml but it's getting extremely confusing as I expand by yaml and make it more readable (other than just key/value pairs Any suggestions please?

[BangPypers] Thinking oops
Hello bangpypers, I am fairly new to python. About a year old. I got the hand of the lang and have written some useful scripts for my operations team. Even though I would want to use oop concepts, I have not able to think in terms of oriented. I usually end up using functions. Would appreciate any pointers to overcome this weakness? Thank you.
