XMC: Add Bulk IP addresses to device list

Terry_Butts — Sat, 06 Feb 2021 01:41:51 GMT

I have 500+ devices to add to XMC that need to be pre-added.

Is there a way to do this?

Hi Terry,

Connect API’s should do the trick:

Hi Terry,

we do have a Northbound Interface (NBI) where you can add devices. This interface id good for scripting. You may use my Python class I made XMC_NBI . They is a example to get_all_device. But to add device you have create the own NBI call like this

mutation {
network {
createDevices(
input: {devices: {
ipAddress: "1.2.3.4",
siteLocation: "/World/CTC/Reading",
profileName: "snmp_v3_profile"
}
}) {
status
message
}
}
}

Thx

I tried to use a query like this but it seems to be totally broken.

It says "SUCCESS" but nothing appears in XIQ-SE.

If I try to add it again it tells me it already exists.

When I try to delete it (using NBI) it tells me SUCCESS, no matter how many times I run the deletion.

But when I try to add it again it still tells me it already exists...

Just wanted to let y'all know that this was a permissions issue.

For some reason, it isn't enough to give API user permissions to NBI. It appears you have to include permissions for "XIQ-SE OneView" in the corresponding authorization group. Even though NBI is the only thing you're using.
