First, a fair warning: if you install ACI Toolkit successfully, in the samples folder, there are many scripts you can try. All the scripts with the name “aci-show…” are OK to run, but do not run other scripts like tutorial.py in your production environment until you understand what the script is doing.
To answer your question, if you ask those ACI developers/programmers, they will tell you sky is the limit what can you do with the script, but I am a network engineer try to learn programming so I think it is very limit and not useful.
Below is a script that can mimic the “show ip int brief”. My point is why do I have to go to all the trouble to write this script?
import json
import acitoolkit.acitoolkit as ACI
creds = ACI.Credentials('apic')
args = creds.get()
sess = ACI.Session(args.url, args.login, args.password)
sess.login()
dat = []
r = sess.get('/api/class/ipv4Addr.json')
intfs = json.loads(r.text)['imdata']
for i in intfs:
dat.append((
i['ipv4Addr']['attributes']['addr'],
#i['ipv4Addr']['attributes']['operSt'],
#i['ipv4Addr']['attributes']['operStQual'],
#i['ipv4Addr']['attributes']['dn']
))
for rec in dat:
print rec
