Push config to Network Devices?

mehdi.rashidi — Fri, 01 Mar 2019 12:35:40 GMT

Hello all,

From what I've seen so far in APIC-EM API, you can pull device information and configuration but I don't seem to find APIs for pushing config to devices. Is there already APIs for this or this is in road map for future releases? Anybody has any idea/info?

Thanks

Are you interested in pushing config for specific solution (like iWAN) OR push ANY custom config to ANY device?

I don't think there're APIs for the general case as of now. However, in case of iWAN, in release 1.4, we are providing a feature whereby you can push any config template to supported device.

I’m more interested to push a custom config, say adding a new vlan, to a bunch of devices, defining the interfaces that this vlan needs to be applied, etc. Something similar to what Apstra trying to do. Intents driven configuration.

You can push a configuration to devices via api.

But there is no vlan api (exept for reading) You have to do the checks in your code (vlan exists already, properly configured etc.). Not really the support you expect from a api right?
