Plugin not getting fabric switch ips about nd2-worker-plugin-aci HOT 6 CLOSED

I've just tried and seems to work OK, now says it is storing entries. After that I can find them via the netdisco web searching MACs & IPs.
Many thanks for the fixing!!!

Hi & thanks, glad you like it :) I actually didn't look at this code in quite a while, but I just tried with the APIC version we have now (4.3(3l)) and I'm still getting the switch IPs as expected in the devip field.

This is read from here:

https://<apic>/api/node/class/topSystem.json
    {'topSystem'}->{attributes}->[<array, system index>]->{oobMgmtAddr}

Are your oobMgmtAddr 0.0.0.0 in there? Maybe you have inbMgmtAddr instead?

You can get the JSON file by running e.g.
NETDISCOX_DUMPJSON=1 netdisco-do -D -d ... arpnip

then it will be stored as /tmp/https(url-encoded-hostname)topSystem.json

I checked and you were right, we have in the json dumps:

"oobMgmtAddr" : "0.0.0.0" (I understand this equals "not defined",)
and
"inbMgmtAddr" : "XX.XXX.X.XXX" (the correct IP of the fabric switch)

So the answer is that we have to define oobMgmtAddr in each fabric switch with the data of inbMgmtAddr ... right? I do not know what implies in terms of risk or downtime, I will have to check with our support.

One last question, why use oobMgmt and not inbMgmt? Our fabric is doing great in production but maybe this implies something that we missed when it was configured or can arise problems in the future.

Thank you for your time.

Wait don't change anything on your end, I'll adapt the code so it can either use oobMgmtAddr or inbMgmtAddr - it just happened that our fabrics always had a oobMgmtAddr defined.

Ok then, I'll wait to test the new code.
Thank you again for your time.

Ok it should be reading inbMgmtAddr now if there is no oobMgmtAddr. I can not test it very well since we only seem to have oob everywhere, but I hope it works for you.
