arubaos-switch-python

These scripts are written for ArubaOS Switch API version 4.0.

Structure

• REST API call functions are found in the /src folder.
• Functions from the /src folder are combined to emulate network processes that are stored in the /workflows folder.
• Data to be imported into functions is stored in the /sampledata folder.

How to run this code

There are different workflows covered in this repo under /workflows directory. Before starting ensure the switch REST API is enabled: switch# rest-interface

In order to run these scripts, please complete the steps below:

1. install virtual env (refer https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html). Make sure python version 3 is installed in system.

   $ python3 -m venv switchenv
   

2. Activate the virtual env

   $ source switchenv/bin/activate
   

3. Install all packages required from requirements file

   (switchenv)$ pip install -r /arubaos-switch-api-python/requirements.txt
   

4. Open the project arubaos-switch-api-python from an editor (eg: Pycharm)

5. Set the project interpreter as the new virtual env created in step 1

6. Go to corresponding data yaml of each workflow and give the correct switch ip and credentials

7. Now you can run different workflows from arubaos-switch-api-python/workflows E.G. base_provision.py
