Automation on OmniSwitch
In 2016, I wrote an Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise module alcatel_aos for Netmiko.
This Python module works for AOS6 and AOS8. It is regularly updated by Kirk Byers when major changes are made in the Netmiko library.
I have now been asked to create a Python code to automate configuration on the Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise OmniSwitch, so I used the Nornir framework in addition to the Netmiko library to structure the Python code in a way close to Ansible.
Here a step-by-step guide for implementing it:
Figure 1_ Nornir configuration file
Figure 2_ File inventory/ :
Hosts.yaml
groups.yaml
defaults.yaml
Figure 3_ Files templates/ :
Figure 4 Script Files:
get_facts.py
config_radius.py
config_save.py
Results get_fact.py
Results config_radius.py
Results config_save.py
When all these actions have been completed, the Nornir automation framework will be ready to use.
