Device model parameter?

[rainnomm56]

Hi,

What is the correct way of discovering/storing device model parameter? For mpls l3vpn i have 8 different CPE-s from cisco IOS software familiy. Almost all those CPE-s have different uplink configuration. Do I understand correctly that there is no built-in option for device model discovery i have to make my own script for that?

My current idea is to have "cpe_model" parameter in "service cpe" and then use it in "when" conditions inside configuration XML to choose correct uplink.

Your service may be able to use the platform information (devices/device/platform):

admin@mdp(config)# do show devices device lab-csr platform

platform name ios-xe

platform version 16.3.4

platform model CSR1000V

platform serial-number XXX

ty, it works. My NSO contact from cisco actually said that device model info is not built-in. Good that i bothered to ask this question. From python it is also accessible:

In [2]: for device in root.ncs__devices.device:

  ...: print("%s\t%s\t%s" % (device.name, device.platform.model, device.platform.version))

  ...:
