LMS4.1 Template Center Question

[STEFFEN NEUSER]

Hello,

Is it possible to access global variables (current device and current port) in the CLI commands and what are there names?

The customer wants to run the "default interface gi x/y/z" command before deploying customized commands, but it is not inside the interface context and need to be parametrisized, for example:

<cli name="edgeConfig">
    <clicommand>
default interface ${current_port?}
switchport access vlan ${access-vlan-id}
switchport mode access
switchport voice vlan ${voice-vlan-id}
    </clicommand>
</cli>

The ${interface} variable should hold the current interface.

Hi Jo,

Thx for the variablename, but the 2nd part of problem with differnt command level in one template is left:

default interface ${current_port?}

belongs at global level and the remaining statements at interface level.

Please see, why it is not working below. Have you got an idea to get this working?

Ah, yes.  I did something similar at CiscoLive!, but I used a device template.  Sadly, the default int thing did not work.  I ran into a bug (CSCua86328).  You cannot reuse the same variable within a template.

I have not tried this within an interface template, but I don't think it would work given that you'd have to reuse a variable.  The other alternative is to use a lot of "default" commands within the interface.  This is what I ended up doing at CiscoLive!.
