Trying to add a vlan to my config.

  I'm trying to programmatically add a vlan to my running config. Of course, the create function in iControl::Networking::VLAN returns nothing (literally - the wiki for the api says 'null').   ...

Ahhh, it's just as I suspected. The method signature for VLAN::create is

 

 

Networking.VLAN.create(
    in String [] vlans,
    in long [] vlan_ids,
    in Networking.VLAN.MemberEntry [] [] members,
    in EnabledState [] failsafe_states,
    in long [] timeouts,
    in String [] mac_masquerade_addresses
);

 

 

You are passing in scalars for most of the arguments. All of the parameters are expected to be arrays except for the members parameter which is a 2-d array (first dimension for the VLAN, 2nd dimension for the members of that VLAN.

 

 

The server code is converting the SOAP message and since there are no arrays, it is treating it as an array size 0 which is a no-op. You'll need to modify your code to pass in the correct arrays for this to work. I'd provide some suggestions, but I'm a definite noob at python.

 

 

Good luck!
