How to get 'show mac address-table' output of Fabric Interconnect from Python ucsmsdk

[Guru Prasad]

Hi All,

I have been using Python sdk of UCS, ucsmsdk for managing fi operations.

But i could not find the appropriate one for the 'show mac address-table' output which is shown below.

fi-B(nx-os)# show mac address-table

VLAN MAC Address Type age Secure NTFY Ports
---------+-----------------+--------+-------
* 1 0092.f52f.9b2b static - F F Veth694
* 1 0092.f52f.9b2e static - F F Veth702
* 2 0092.f52f.9b2c static - F F Veth698
* 2 0092.f52f.9b2f static - F F Veth706
* 2 0092.f52f.9b32 static - F F Veth714

Looked at all mometa classes. But could not find it. 

Please let me know if the same is available under any name.

Tried with EtherPIo, etc. But couldnt see anything related to mac address-table.

Thanks

But is there any option available in python ucsmsdk itself to handle this.?

Hi Guru,

UCS does not maintain objects for these components, the output is only available via the Fabric Interconnect CLI.

However, I wrote some python that can access these items using SSH libraries to connect to the FIs and issue CLI commands

https://github.com/movinalot/ucs-code/tree/master/ucs-python

Using get_show_cmd.py to connect to the FIs and issue the commands in the json or yml files

The nxos-show-mac-address-table.json runs the command “show mac address-table” on FI A and then on FI B

The nxos-show-mac-address-table.yml runs the command “show mac address-table | xml” on FI A and then on FI B

update the json/yml file with your connection information and run as follows

python get_show_cmd.py nxos-show-mac-address-table.yml

Hope this helps

Regards,

John
