Read data from one specific interface

[MahdiR]

Is there a way to retrieve information from one spesific interface, rather than looping through all the interfaces and choosing the correct one?

I find the latter approach to be very inefficient in terms of the time it takes to loop through all available interfaces, and am looking for a better and faster way.

Here is my current code:

from ydk.models.cisco_ios_xe.Cisco_IOS_XE_interfaces_oper import Interfaces
from ydk.services.netconf_service import NetconfService
from ydk.providers.netconf_provider import NetconfServiceProvider

service = NetconfService()
provider = NetconfServiceProvider(address=address, username=username, password=password)

model = Interfaces()

interfaces = service.get(provider=provider, read_filter=model)
        
for interface in interfaces.interface:
    if interface.name == "GigabitEthernet0/0/7":
        return "some data"

Hi,

Seems like there is no alternative method get a specific Interface entity through YDK's Cisco_IOS_XE_interfaces_oper

http://ydk.cisco.com/py/docs/gen_doc_d3c0b5efefaadaf38699df0c6c6e43bd0355e31c.html

Maybe you could loop through all the interface once, and store it as a python dictionary. So that you can get the Interface entity directly in next time.

Here is an example, please verify / fix the code if there is any syntax error.

interfaces = service.get(provider=provider, read_filter=model)
interfaces_dict = {}
        
for interface in interfaces.interface:
    tmp = {interface.name : interface}
    interfaces_dict.update(tmp)

print(interfaces_dict['GigabitEthernet0/0/7'].if_index)

Try this script (change interface name and device credentials):

import logging
import ydk.models.cisco_ios_xe.Cisco_IOS_XE_interfaces_oper as ifc_oper
from ydk.services.netconf_service import NetconfService
from ydk.providers.netconf_provider import NetconfServiceProvider

def enable_logging(level):
    log = logging.getLogger('ydk')
    log.setLevel(level)
    handler = logging.StreamHandler()
    formatter = logging.Formatter(
            "%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s")
    handler.setFormatter(formatter)
    log.addHandler(handler)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    enable_logging(logging.INFO)
    service = NetconfService()
    provider = NetconfServiceProvider(address="ios-xe-mgmt-latest.cisco.com",
                                      port=10000,
                                      username="developer",
                                      password="C1sco12345")

    model = ifc_oper.Interfaces()
    ifc = ifc_oper.Interfaces.Interface()
    ifc.name = "GigabitEthernet3"
    model.interface.append(ifc)

    interface = service.get(provider=provider, read_filter=ifc)

 I got this from XE sandbox:
