I have a python script that I’m using for B-series switches to configure multiple ports at the same time.

#@METADATASTART
#@ScriptDescription "Change port from static to NAC".
#@DetailDescriptionStart
##############################################################################
#
#Purpose: "Change port from static to NAC".
#
# Version : 1.0
#
# This script deletes selected ports from all vlans, sets "display-string" and
# "description-string" to "NAC_Port". Finally, the configuration is saved.
##############################################################################
#@DetailDescriptionEnd
#
#@MetaDataEnd
import re
import commands

def main():

if "port" in emc_vars:
ports = emc_vars["port"]
else:
print "Please select at least one PORT if you start the script"
return 0

cli_result = emc_cli.send("clear port vlan " + ports)

main()

However, I get the following output:

deerl1sw006(su)->clear port vlan ge.1.7,ge.1.8
Invalid Port in [port-string].

The B-Series switch needs to use ; instead of , to separate interfaces. Is there anyway to fix this?

Hello Chuck,

try this:

#@METADATASTART
#@ScriptDescription "Change port from static to NAC".
#@DetailDescriptionStart
##############################################################################
#
#Purpose: "Change port from static to NAC".
#
# Version : 1.0
#
# This script deletes selected ports from all vlans, sets "display-string" and
# "description-string" to "NAC_Port".  Finally, the configuration is saved.
##############################################################################
#@DetailDescriptionEnd
#
#@MetaDataEnd
import re
import commands

def main():

    if "port" in emc_vars:
        ports = emc_vars["port"].split(",") #create a list with all ports
    else:
        print "Please select at least one PORT if you start the script"
        return 0

    portcounter = 0
    for port in ports: #walk through the list
        if portcounter == 0:
            portstring = port
        else:
            portstring = portstring + ";" + port #fill in the separator you need
        portcounter += 1

    cli_result = emc_cli.send("clear port vlan " + portstring)  

main()

Regards Stephan

Once again, you nailed it!

Ah yes I see it. Change the insert for the line “return portsting” in that way that it is inline with word for.

The line insertion has to be the same. In the moment the return ends after the for loops run once.

Stephan, sorry to bother again, but this only uses the first port (if I selected multiple ports).

Ah, got it! This works!
