MACs not learned from APIC about nd2-worker-plugin-aci HOT 7 CLOSED

Hi ! Regarding aci_ignore_uplink_re, you can look at the values you have in the db with this query, e.g.

netdisco@vm02 $ netdisco-do psql
netdisco=> select ip, port, remote_type from device_port where ip =  '10.219.2.76' and remote_type is not null order by port;

     ip      |      port       |                          remote_type
-------------+-----------------+----------------------------------------------------------------
 10.219.2.76 | Ethernet1/2     | NetApp HCI H410S-1 Storage Node, Release Element Software 12.7
 10.219.2.76 | Ethernet1/51    | topology/pod-1/node-101
 10.219.2.76 | Ethernet1/52    | topology/pod-1/node-102
 10.219.2.76 | Ethernet103/1/6 | NetApp HCI H410S-1 Storage Node, Release Element Software 12.7

So just setting the value to ^topology or even topology might do what you want. For multiple values, you can use e.g. (NetApp|topology).

For the "Unicast-Routing (L3) is inactive" case, this probably means that the MACs do not appear in the {fvCEp}->{children}->{fvRsCEpToPathEp} structure of the APIC API. Is there a place in the Object browser or URL in moquery where you see the MACs that you'd expect to be in Netdisco for the port? Then we could maybe try to query this location as well.

Hi,
thanks for quick response.

I tried this already, I put a line aci_ignore_uplink_re: '^topology' at the end of my deployment.yml and restarted the netdisco-daemon.
remote_type definitely doesn't start with topology:

netdisco=> select ip, port, is_uplink, remote_type from device_port where ip = '172.31.252.225' and port = 'Ethernet1/5';
       ip       |    port     | is_uplink |                                remote_type
----------------+-------------+-----------+--------------------------------------------
 172.31.252.225 | Ethernet1/5 | t         | Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) Linux ...
(1 row)

netdisco=>

But I still get this debug output from Macsuck:
[17669] 2023-12-11 14:26:05 debug [172.31.255.61] cisco aci macsuck - 90:xx:xx:24:B8:66 fabric switch 172.31.252.225 port Ethernet1/5 is an uplink, skipped

It looks like I didn't set the variable correctly.

For the second case (L3), I can not reproduce problem right now. The MACs appear in the API structure and in debug output.

Oh I misread what you want, to mark everything but "topology" I hope this negative lookahead will work:

aci_ignore_uplink_re: "^(?!topology)"

from nd2-worker-plugin-aci.

That doesn't work.
I tried something and found out, that "Debian" (to test positiv matching) works fine, but if I add any special character, for examle "^Debian" or "(Debian)" it doesn't match anymore.

Does this work for you?

from nd2-worker-plugin-aci.

found the reason:
in Nodes.pm on Line 91 is the \Q infront of the variable:
... !~ m/\Q$aci_ignore_uplink_re/){
This doesn't work in regex. If you put it at the end, everything is fine.
... !~ m/$aci_ignore_uplink_re\Q/){
Also the negative lookahead aci_ignore_uplink_re: "^(?!topology).*$" is working :)

thanks for figuring that out, I must have added the \Q once because I thought it would help... well it clearly didn't so far :) So I just removed it and also added the examples from here to the readme.

thanks :)
