[Terraform] Does DevNet Support actually ‘exist’?

krzysztofmaciejewskiit — Tue, 26 Nov 2024 15:53:17 GMT

Hi I am addressing you with a question, does the DevNet section actually exist?

On GitHub it is possible to submit submissions under the Issue tab, but there is no way that anyone will respond to them. In October, I reported what I thought were two big problems, but nobody even replied. Furthermore, I reported the same problems on Cisco Community in August, and there was a response from users, but I can't expect them to fix the bugs. In addition, I am now encountering further bugs, e.g. the impossibility to delete VLANs created with nxos_rest.

https://community.cisco.com/t5/devnet-general-discussions/terraform-problem-with-adding-quot-no-shutdown-quot-to/td-p/5157845
https://community.cisco.com/t5/devnet-general-discussions/terraform-after-removing-resource-cdp-lldp-config-left-on/td-p/5157851

I don't want to be mean, but there is one man on Fortios‘ GitHub who tries to help the community and possibly forward requests to the developers’ department to add, fix or modify some functionality.

Is there another place to report such issues when it comes to Cisco DevNet?
I think there are too few obvious ready-made resources in Cisco, such as creating a simple VLAN, you can't do it with a simple resource, you just have to do it through nxos_rest.

@krzysztofmaciejewskiit for support on the modules you would need to create an issue on the repo for this, the owners of the repo would look at this. This is the best way to get support for this, i saw you have issues open on the repo.

Hope this helps.

Hi @krzysztofmaciejewskiit we found a few issues you created, including this: https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/terraform-provider-nxos/issues/267. Let me escalate this to the repo maintainers.

This is what I did on Github, but no response.

Thanks!
If you are willing I can offer to talk via Teams/Webex. I can present the errors I encounter and my suggestions. If you want we can communicate differently. I am willing as a user and engineer to help develop TF as I use the tool and see the potential.
My all problems so far:

https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/terraform-provider-nxos/issues/267
https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/terraform-provider-nxos/issues/268
https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/terraform-provider-nxos/issues/280
