SFP inventory from ACI Fabric

[EduardR]

Hi all,

I need to inventory the SPF plugged in the SPINE and LEAF of our ACI Fabric, but didn't find a menu where i can check that information, Anyone knows if is it possible to get that information consolidated? Our Fabric is version 2.1(2g)

Thank you at advance

Hi, it's a bit late but I found your question as I'm literally trying to do the same.

I found this command you can run from APIC CLI controller

APIC# fabric DC1_101_i06-93180FX-01 show inventory ?
<CR> Carriage return
chassis system inventory chassis information
fans system inventory fan information
module system inventory module information
power_supply system inventory power supply information

APIC# fabric DC1_101_i06-93180FX-01 show inventory

This work for the switches modules (fabrics, line cards, PSU, fans) but does not provide the information on the SFP. But thank you for the response..!

Apologies, I copied the wrong output I meant to put this one.

Awesome! Thank you!

On top what has been mentioned in the previous replies, you can also view this information on a per interface in the APIC Gui as well under Fabric>Inventory>POD> [leaf/spine] > physical interfaces > [interface]  and then select operational.

You can easily pull this information as well through a rest api call :)

cheers

Thank you! WE have been using thatmetohd for a while, but we have over 1200 ports and doing this one by one was a little tedious.

Hi Alexander09

I am struggling to find the REST API call to gather SFP inventory information can you share the API call please?

New to ACI and API Rest calls learning as I go along.

Cheers

[Marcel Zehnder]

You can query the ethpmFcot MO.

From APIC CLI with moquery:

moquery -c ethpmFcot -f 'ethpm.Fcot.guiCiscoPID!=""' | egrep "#|dn|guiCiscoPID|guiSN"

Or via API

GET /api/class/ethpmFcot.json?query-target-wilter=ne(ethpmFcot.guiCiscoPID,"")

HTH

Nice Marcel - I was looking at that object this morning, but was looking at an empty (non occupied) interface!  Doh!

You could run any of the following moquery:

moquery -c ethpmFcot | egrep "dn|typeName"

moquery -c ethpmFcot | egrep "dn|guiCiscoPID|guiSN"

[Chris Van Krieken]

Very helpful ! What would be the moquery command to list all interfaces with an SFP inserted, but not connected (no cable in SFP). Would it be to check: isFcotpresent or state: what is the difference ?

Thanks.

 

Thanks,
