Networking.VLAN.create -- question

Hello,

 

 

I am trying to create a VLAN using iControl; I am using python as my scripting language. The code that I am using is as follows:

 

 

!/bin/env python

 

 

from optparse import OptionParser

 

import paramiko

 

import SOAPpy

 

import sys

 

import time

 

 

Funtion to pass values to variable at the time of executing the script

 

def parseargs():

 

"""

 

"""

 

parser = OptionParser(usage="%prog [options]")

 

parser.add_option("-i", "--dut-ip", dest='host',

 

help="DUT IP address.",

 

type="string", default='172.27.32.142')

 

parser.add_option("-p", "--host-passwd", dest='passwd',

 

help="Host password.",

 

type="string", default='default')

 

parser.add_option("-U", "--host-UI-username", dest='uiUsername',

 

help="Host GUI username.",

 

type="string", default='admin')

 

parser.add_option("-P", "--host-UI-passwd", dest='uiPasswd',

 

help="Host UI password.",

 

type="string", default='admin')

 

return parser

 

 

parser = parseargs()

 

(options, args) = parser.parse_args()

 

if not options.databaseip:

 

parser.error("Missing Sleuth results database IP.")

 

 

ICONTROL_URL = "https://%s:%s@%s/iControl/iControlPortal.cgi"%\

 

(options.uiUsername, options.uiPasswd, options.host)

 

ICONTROL_VLAN_NAMESPACE = "urn:iControl:Networking/VLAN"

 

 

ic_url = ICONTROL_URL

 

 

vlan_proxy = SOAPpy.SOAPProxy(ic_url, ICONTROL_VLAN_NAMESPACE)

 

 

print SOAPpy.Types.simplify(vlan_proxy.get_list())

 

creating a VLAN

 

import pdb;pdb.set_trace()

 

vlan_proxy.create( vlans=["ictrlVLan"],

 

vlan_ids=[3001],

 

members=[{'member_name': '1.8',

 

'member_type': 'MEMBER_INTERFACE',

 

'tag_state': 'MEMBER_TAGGED'}],

 

failsafe_states=['STATE_DISABLED'],

 

timeouts=[90],

 

mac_masquerade_addreses=['none'])

 

 

 

 

Unfortunately, when I try to execute the script I run into following:

 

 

Traceback (most recent call last):
