Bulk Onboarding Cisco AP AIR-AP3802I-E-K9 with specified platform cisco_ios not working
Environment
- Python version: 3.6.10
- NetBox version: 2.9.6
- ntc-netbox-plugin-onboarding version: Where can I find this information?
Steps to Reproduce
I wanted to onboard Cisco APs. Cisco AIR-CAP2602I-E-K9, AIR-CAP2702I-E-K9, AIR-CAP2702I-E-K9, AIR-CAP3702I-E-K9 and AIR-LAP1242AG-E-K9 work fine. The SSH autodetect works because show version has IOS in the output. But Cisco AIR-AP3802I-E-K9 SSH autodetect doesn't work because there ist no IOS in show version output and so it can not find the cisco_ios (ios) as NAPALM driver.
If I try to specify the NAPALM driver via platform in Bulk Import I get an error.
site,ip_address,platform,username,password,secret
Site-A,10.199.155.15,cisco_ios,USER,PASSWORD,SECRET
Error Failed reason: fail-general Message: 'ipv4'
But if I do the same thing with NAPALM directly via CLI it works.
from napalm import get_network_driver
driver = get_network_driver("ios")
device = driver(hostname='10.199.155.15',username='USER',password='PASSWORD', optional_args={'secret': 'SECRET'})
device.open()
device.get_facts()
Output:
{'uptime': 7083780,
'vendor': 'Cisco',
'os_version': 'Unknown',
'serial_number': 'ABCDEF12345',
'model': 'AIR-AP3802I-E-K9',
'hostname': 'AP-01',
'fqdn': 'Unknown',
'interface_list': ['wired0', 'wired1', 'wifi0', 'wifi1']}
device.close()
Issue seems to be with underlying drivers and tools : netmiko and napalm - both of them need to work fine with your device to properly onboard network device using plugin. Please manually verify following outputs to assure driver-platform compatibility:
napalm_device.get_facts()
napalm_device.get_interfaces_ip()
