jsonrpc support on x440

[daniel19]

Hi ,
I would like to know if it is possible to enable the jsonrpc in Extreme x440.
The firmware I am currently using is 16.1.3.6 patch1-8.

I get a 404 response from:
http:///jsonrpc/

404 Not Found

The requested URL '/jsonrpc/' was not found on this server.

Can you confirm that it is supported only on the new EXOS 21.1 as ...

It that is the case the the new os is not available for x440 . What can be an alternative solution?

Hi,

jsonrpc is available only starting from EXOS 21.1. It would require a big architectural modification to allow EXOS 16.x to support it and there're no plans afaik to do it.

You can pexpect, maybe?

[Dave_Hammers]

Correct. JSONRPC support was introduced in EXOS 21.1.

For earlier EXOS releases, I have a kind of odd way to do JSONRPC over telnet session that I never published.
I have python code examples on how a server would use this.

Server:

• connects to a switch via telnet

• Authenticates (username/password)
• starts a script tJSONRPC.py on the switch which takes over the connection.
• communicates JSONRPC with the switch point to point over the dedicated session.

Switch:

• authenticates telnet client connection
• accepts command to start tJSONRPC.py (run script tJSONRPC.py)
• session communicates JSONRPC (method=cli) until closed.

Would you be interested in trying this out?

I would be like to test this out.  Please send it to me. Thanks!

@Stephane Grosjean is this still the case? Is there any way to enable JSONRPC server on an x440-24p-G1 switch that is stuck at verrsion 15 fw?
