Loop over access interfaces in template?

misch1942 — Mon, 17 Jan 2022 10:27:48 GMT

Hi,

in a template I want to interate over all access interfaces (Gi...) but not over the uplink unterfaces (Te...). In the samples I found the following:

{% for interface in __interface %}

{% if interface.portType == 'Ethernet Port' %}

(...)

Is the any list of values that the key "interface.portType" can be? Is there any other solution to loop only over access ports?

@misch1942 you could use conditionals, these render content based on when a condition is either True or False like here

{% if stuff in things %}
    {{ stuff }}
{% endif %} # note: if statements need to be ended

{% if stuff not in things %}
    no stuff here
{% endif %} # note: if statements need to be ended

Well, I am quite familiar with conditionals in jinja. My question was related to the values that the key interface.portType of the Template System Variables of DNAC can become. Is the any documentation of these variables (keys and values)?

In the docs given, the link https://github.com/kebaldwi/DNAC-TEMPLATES/tree/master/LABS/LAB7-Advanced-Automation/ helps. Thanks.
