Genie API - get_boot_variables

[neteng1]

I am trying to use the Genie API get_boot_variables(). It has a model specific function for cat3k, but the API is not detecting cat3k devices from my testbed file. I am guessing it uses the testbed.devices.device.type field. Does anyone have an explanation of how the API determines specific model?

Hello @neteng1,

Would you please provide some background on how you're using the API?

For example, are you connecting to each device and then calling the API?

Thanks.

Hello, I have discovered the answer. The platform field in device testbed must match one of the Unicorn supported platforms.
