EMC 8.1 adding vlan to EAPS domain script fails on EXOS switch version 12.4

[Tiburcio_Jr_Cor]

Our company has in production Netsight 7.1.3.25 we have over 70 EAPS scripts in use and working as designed. Currently, I have recently installed EMC 8.1.0.52 on new VM, I have started mirroring the scripts that I have in Netsight 7 to EMC 8.1 and noticed when I tested the script my vlan does not get configured on older exos switches (12.4.) My questions is, is this a known issue or is there a workaround? Below is an example of the error and the Script I used.

Hi Tiburcio,
I guess the issue is that XOS is asking for some confirmation what the scripting engine is not aware of (as it is quite old firmware, the testing was not done), while the XMC is waiting for prompt.

Can you please check the CLI output from the switch?
the construct:

regexp {.*could cause a loop.*} ${CLI.OUT} foundit
IF ([info exists foundit]) THEN
CLI y
ENDIF

does not work in version 8. You will need to tune CLIRules.xml or as you have XMC version 8.0.5+ you can use:

CLI -nowait config $vlanname add port $port tagged

Regards

Z.

Zdenek,

I tried your suggestion and my vlan was not added to the ports in the eaps domain and JS your method had the same results as before.

Hi Tiburcio,
not sure if that helps but the following command should remove warning messages when configuring EAPS [and the need to answer y/n] - which may solve your script issue all together?

configure eaps config-warnings off

Thanks, JS

Zdenek,

I will update the script and provide feed back if this fixes my issue, thanks.
