Workflow emc.cli question(s)

XTRMUser — Tue, 27 Feb 2024 18:43:56 GMT

I'm working on developing a workflow that will show where a mac address is in my network. I can't query XIQ, since a number of the mac addresses aren't there, and I don't have the IP address and use "show ip arp <ip address>" on the VOSS cores.

In my workflow, python script, I have the following (there is more, but this is the appropriate stuff, I think).

from xmclib import emc_vars # Ask for a complete list of all my switches my_query1 = '''{network{devices{ip,sysName,nosId}}}''' my_result1 = emc_nbi.query(my_query1)['network']['devices'] # Now cycle through the switches for my_switch in my_result1: my_switch_ip = my_switch['ip'] my_switch_name = my_switch['sysName'] my_os = my_switch['nosId'] # I know that BOSS and VOSS (I don't have EXOS) syntax commands are different. I'm using BOSS in the example below # I use the show mac-addr addr <mac-address> client_command = 'show mac-addr addr ' + mac_address_ers emc_cli.setIpAddress(my_switch_ip) my_search_results = emc_cli.send(client_command).getOutput() #more processing here

The first time through the loop, everything works correctly. The 2nd (and subsequent) time (it uses another IP address), the field "my_search_results" gives the first time through results.

Do I need to clear the emc_cli or the getOutput or something???

Thanks for any tips.

if you like to change the device context you have to close the session first before establishing a new one.

Hi,

try to do some cleanup before you open new session:

emc_cli.setIpAddress(varDevice) sendConfigCmds(varCMDS) emc_cli.close() emc_cli.setCliRule(None)

this worked for me.

good luck

Yes, the emc_cli.close() was the secret for me. Thanks so much.
