Prime API - how to get vlan list

Chris P — Thu, 22 Aug 2019 08:42:27 GMT

Hi

Does anyone know how to pull the list of vlan (layer2) configured on a device from the API?

Basically what you get from GUI when you get to
Inventory / Device Management / Network Devices / Device Groups / All Devices / <device name>
System > VLANs

thank you

Hello.

Unfortunately I do now know where or how from Cisco Prime API to get that information.

Not all information from the GUI is accessible or easily accessible in the API.

What I would do, if I couldn't find it, was to get the device list from Prime via its API, and then just SNMP-WALK each switch manually.

OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.46.1.3.1.1.4.1 should give you all the VLANs with its respective names.

example:

iso.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.46.1.3.1.1.4.1.1 = STRING: "default"
iso.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.46.1.3.1.1.4.1.1002 = STRING: "fddi-default"
iso.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.46.1.3.1.1.4.1.1003 = STRING: "token-ring-default"
iso.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.46.1.3.1.1.4.1.1004 = STRING: "fddinet-default"
iso.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.46.1.3.1.1.4.1.1005 = STRING: "trnet-default"

Then just do a split based on the OID, and you'll get the VLAN ID

e.g.

oid, vlanId = "1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.46.1.3.1.1.4.1.102".split('1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.46.1.3.1.1.4.1.")

If you want more example code, I can provide you with python and its necessary libraries.
