ACS REST API - Add Devices

jmannbaylor — Fri, 01 Mar 2019 10:46:44 GMT

Has anyone used CRUD operations to add Network Devices within the REST API?

I have what I think is a properly formatted XML that I'm submitting to /Rest/NetworkDevice/Device, but I keep getting errors back from the service that don't make sense.

Here is my XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<ns1:devices

xmlns:ns1="networkdevice.rest.mgmt.acs.nm.cisco.com">

<description>Test - Created by REST</description>

<groupName>All Locations</groupName>

<groupType>Location</groupType>

</groupInfo>

<groupName>All Device Types</groupName>

<groupType>Device Type</groupType>

</groupInfo>

</subnets>

<singleConnect>false</singleConnect>

</tacacsConnection>

</device>

</ns1:devices>

And the error the service is returning:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<ns2:restResult

xmlns:ns2="common.rest.mgmt.acs.nm.cisco.com">

<moreErrInfo>XML Parsing Error: unexpected element (uri:"networkdevice.rest.mgmt.acs.nm.cisco.com", local:"devices"). Expected elements are <{networkdevice.rest.mgmt.acs.nm.cisco.com}device>. </moreErrInfo>

<operationType>NOT_AVAILABLE</operationType>

<resourceType>NOT_AVAILABLE</resourceType>

<status>BAD_REQUEST</status>

</ns2:restResult>

Try this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<ns1:device xmlns:ns1="networkdevice.rest.mgmt.acs.nm.cisco.com">

<description>Test - Created by REST</description>

<groupName>All Locations</groupName>

<groupType>Location</groupType>

</groupInfo>

<groupName>All Device Types</groupName>

<groupType>Device Type</groupType>

</groupInfo>

<groupName>All Hardware types:F5ve</groupName>

<groupType>Hardware Type</groupType>

</groupInfo>

</subnets>

<sharedSecret>helloAll</sharedSecret>

<singleConnect>false</singleConnect>

</tacacsConnection>

</ns1:device>

I did solve this on my own, just forgot to update the post, here was my template(but yours works too!):

<ns1:device xmlns:ns1="networkdevice.rest.mgmt.acs.nm.cisco.com">

<description>$devicedesc</description>

<name>$devicename</name>

<groupName>All Locations</groupName>

<groupType>Location</groupType>

</groupInfo>

<groupName>All Device Types</groupName>

<groupType>Device Type</groupType>

</groupInfo>

<ipAddress>$deviceIP</ipAddress>

<netMask>$deviceMask</netMask>

</subnets>

<sharedSecret>$acskey</sharedSecret>

<singleConnect>false</singleConnect>

</tacacsConnection>

</ns1:device>
