vendor agnostic port names / port numbering in cfs package

j-ulanowski

Hi,

 

What is the preferred way of developing a cfs package in multivendor enviroment with regards to port names and numbering?

The solutions are:

- developing some abstract names of ports that are later translated to vendor specific names - adds cruft to the package but makes it independent of NEDs and device specific data. For example "ethernet 1/1" maps to "Ethernet 1/1" or "Ethernet 1" depending on the device.

- using 'case' statement in top level package, like pasted below.

 

In my case NSO will have a 3rd party GUI application. I want to make the cooperation with GUI developer as simple as possible. I would like to:

- avoid the situation where the GUI has to have some variable scenarios dependent on device type etc.

- minimize the impact of adding a additional device type in future

- have too many interactions between GUI and NSO to find details about the device

 

 

 

grouping access-trunk {
  choice device-types {
    case nexus {
      when "/ncs:devices/ncs:device[ncs:name=current()/device]/ncs:capability[ncs:uri='http://tail-f.com/ned/cisco-nx']";
      uses access-trunk-nexus;
    }
    case arista {
      when "/ncs:devices/ncs:device[ncs:name=current()/device]/ncs:capability[ncs:uri='http://tail-f.com/ned/arista-dcs']";
      uses access-trunk-arista;
    }
  }
}

thanks,

Hello @j-ulanowski,

 

Have you checked in these two places?

 

Cisco Code Exchange - https://developer.cisco.com/codeexchange/

DevNet Automation Exchange - https://developer.cisco.com/network-automation/

 

You can search for 'NSO' on Code Exchange and Automation Exchange also has a 'NSO' category.

 

Hope this helps!
