I am confused about if the poap.py.md5 file is necessary for the POAP process? And if it's necessary, what's the content should be? Should it be only one line like this below?
######################################################
the MD5 value calculated with command md5sum poap.py poap.py
######################################################
And I know the second line which contains the MD5 value in the poap.py file need to be updated once the file is changed, so the value in the poap.py file second line must be not same with the output of md5sum poap.py command. According to Cisco docs, the nexus switch need to check the MD5 hash value of the poap.py file, and every file in the POAP process need a corresponding .md5 extension file, so which one the nexus switch will choose to use for the mMD5value compare?

Hey guys! This may not be poap.py script related issue, but my switch is able to attempt tftp to download poap.py script and it fails. I have been able to ping the switch from my dhcp/tftp server while its IP is assigned.

Any ideas on what the problem may be? My dhcp/tftp server is running Window 10.

I ran this on a switch running 7.0(3)I2(2a) assuming it would upgrade to 7.0(3)I4(7) and the check for bios upgrade didn't flag that the bios was newer so it resulted in the loader prompt

Is there any place in the current script that it gets the bios version in the to-install .bin? If so it'd be easy enough to fix, otherwise I'll have to figure out how to get the bios version string from the new image

datacenter/nexus9000/nx-os/poap/poap.py

In some cases the cdp_interface may be None. This can lead to the clid call for cdp_interface causing an error.

Fix is on it's way.

Hello,

I'm working on pushing nxos.9.2.1.bin to our switching infrastructure.

Looking through poap.py it doesn't look like it currently supports 9.2.

Is this planned for the future? If so, is there a available timeline.

Thanks,
Bill

The command to recalculate the md5 is wrong. The result needs to be in double quotes. Command in question.
f=poap.py ; cat $f | sed '/^#md5sum/d' > $f.md5 ; sed -i "s/^#md5sum=./#md5sum=$(md5sum $f.md5 | sed 's/ .//')/" $f

Correct command

f=poap.py ; cat $f | sed '/^#md5sum/d' > $f.md5 ; sed -i "s/^#md5sum=./#md5sum="$(md5sum $f.md5 | sed 's/ .//')"/" $f

Below is the list of ‘getters’ in the NXAPI() class:

Test code will 'Succeed' with this Bug in place, as 'username' and 'password' are identical. The 'get_password()' method returns 'self.username' where 'self.password' is expected.

def init(self):
self.target_url = 'http://localhost/ins'
self.username = 'admin'
self.password = ‘admin’

return self.target_url

last poap.py version Jun 9 11:21
Target node: NX-OSv 9k 7.0.3.I6.1

Following the official guidelines, I made the following modifications to the script:

options = {
   "username": "tftp",
   "password": "tftp",
   "hostname": "172.21.0.1",
   "transfer_protocol": "tftp",
   "mode": "raw",
   "config_path": "NX-OSv-9k/7.0.3.16.1"
   "target_image_path": "NX-OSv-9k/7.0.3.16.1"
   "target_system_image": "nxos.7.0.3.I6.1.bin",
   "user_app_path": "NX-OSv-9k/7.0.3.16.1"
   "source_config_file": "poap.cfg"
}

To make sure they are not dismissed, I also performed the following modifications:

I also recomputed the checksum.
During the POAP phase, the NX-OSv 9k is able to get all its DHCP parameters, downloads the poap.py and says that an error occurred during execution without further explanation.
Some details would be very helpful.

i want to test poap.py only push configuration not to download target image, what is the possible options?
tks

I'm curious about the proper way to iterate through the dictionary object generated by xmltodict.py utilities. I've successfully connected to a Nexus 9508 XML API and fed the XML into the parser to get a dictionary object.

I don't have a ton of experience with python dictionaries, and what I do have, wasn't hierarchical like this is. Here's what I have thus far:

from nxapi_utils import *

thisNXAPI = NXAPI()
thisNXAPI.set_target_url('http://1.1.1.1/ins')
thisNXAPI.set_username('admin')
thisNXAPI.set_password('password')
thisNXAPI.set_msg_type('cli_show')
thisNXAPI.set_cmd('show ip route')
returnData = thisNXAPI.send_req()
#print returnData[1]

doc = xmltodict.parse(returnData[1])

for k ,v in doc['ins_api']['outputs']['output']['body']['TABLE_vrf']['ROW_vrf']['TABLE_addrf']['ROW_addrf']['TABLE_prefix'].iteritems():
        print k, v

This results in:

ROW_prefix [OrderedDict([(u'ipprefix', u'9.0.0.0/8'), (u'ucast-nhops', u'1'), (u'mcast-nhops', u'0'), (u'attached', u'FALSE'), (u'TABLE_path', OrderedDict([(u'ROW_path', OrderedDict([(u'uptime', u'PT10H1M21S'), (u'pref', u'1'), (u'metric', u'0'), (u'clientname', u'static'), (u'ubest', u'TRUE')]))]))]), OrderedDict([(u'ipprefix', u'172.16.1.0/30'), (u'ucast-nhops', u'1'), (u'mcast-nhops', u'0'), (u'attached', u'TRUE'), (u'TABLE_path', OrderedDict([(u'ROW_path', OrderedDict([(u'ipnexthop', u'172.16.1.2'), (u'ifname', u'Po1'), (u'uptime', u'PT21H59M20S'), (u'pref', u'0'), (u'metric', u'0'), (u'clientname', u'direct'), (u'ubest', u'TRUE')]))]))]), OrderedDict([(u'ipprefix', u'172.16.1.2/32'), (u'ucast-nhops', u'1'), (u'mcast-nhops', u'0'), (u'attached', u'TRUE'), (u'TABLE_path', OrderedDict([(u'ROW_path', OrderedDict([(u'ipnexthop', u'172.16.1.2'), (u'ifname', u'Po1'), (u'uptime', u'PT21H59M20S'), (u'pref', u'0'), (u'metric', u'0'), (u'clientname', u'local'), (u'ubest', u'TRUE')]))]))]), OrderedDict([(u'ipprefix', u'172.16.3.1/32'), (u'ucast-nhops', u'1'), (u'mcast-nhops', u'0'), (u'attached', u'FALSE'), (u'TABLE_path', OrderedDict([(u'ROW_path', OrderedDict([(u'ipnexthop', u'172.16.1.1'), (u'ifname', u'Po1'), (u'uptime', u'PT21H57M59S'), (u'pref', u'110'), (u'metric', u'2'), (u'clientname', u'ospf-1'), (u'type', u'intra'), (u'ubest', u'TRUE')]))]))]), OrderedDict([(u'ipprefix', u'172.16.33.1/32'), (u'ucast-nhops', u'1'), (u'mcast-nhops', u'0'), (u'attached', u'FALSE'), (u'TABLE_path', OrderedDict([(u'ROW_path', OrderedDict([(u'ipnexthop', u'172.16.1.1'), (u'ifname', u'Po1'), (u'uptime', u'PT21H57M59S'), (u'pref', u'110'), (u'metric', u'2'), (u'clientname', u'ospf-1'), (u'type', u'inter'), (u'ubest', u'TRUE')]))]))]), OrderedDict([(u'ipprefix', u'172.16.41.1/32'), (u'ucast-nhops', u'1'), (u'mcast-nhops', u'0'), (u'attached', u'FALSE'), (u'TABLE_path', OrderedDict([(u'ROW_path', OrderedDict([(u'ipnexthop', u'172.16.1.1'), (u'ifname', u'Po1'), (u'uptime', u'PT21H57M59S'), (u'pref', u'110'), (u'metric', u'2'), (u'clientname', u'ospf-1'), (u'type', u'inter'), (u'ubest', u'TRUE')]))]))])]

I was hoping to get to the point where I could create a few classes of my own (for instance a "route" class or similar to represent an entry in the routing table, but I'm at a loss as to how to iterate with what's here. I basically want to iterate through each item under TABLE_prefix, and for each ROW_prefix, add all of the properties within to a class object I can create later. It's the iterating part where I'm stuck.

Any help? Thanks in advance!

Dear all,

Please advise
and thank you for your time

https://opennxos.cisco.com/public/api - seems down.
Can we have this fixed or update readme with the working URL please?

Wondering if there's any work going on or planned for making this library into an installable Python module. If not I'd be happy to take this on in my fork.

I have a few projects going on that I'd like to build in NXAPI functionality and it would make it easier for me to build this in there if this functionality was built.

Can you clarify what the license of the code here is? Is it MIT, Apache2, something else?

Also the README link is broke (has been for quite a while).
