CirrusTrying to setup basic networking with bigsuds
I am trying write a script to setup basic networking using bigsuds. I am having trouble creating a vlan. I am novice at scripting so I must be making an error.
Here is the simple script to create a vlan:
!/usr/bin/python
netconfig.py
attempt to do basic network setup with icontrol
import bigsuds
b = bigsuds.BIGIP(
hostname = '10.3.213.66',
username = 'admin',
password = 'admin',
)
b.networking.VLAN.create_v2(
vlans, 'ext-esnet',
vlan_ids, 1101,
members, 1.1,
)
Here is the error I get when I try to run it:
$ ./netconfig.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./netconfig.py", line 14, in
b.networking.VLAN.create_v2(
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bigsuds-1.0-py2.7.egg/bigsuds.py", line 258, in __getattr__
client = self._client_creator('%s.%s' % (self._name, attr))
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bigsuds-1.0-py2.7.egg/bigsuds.py", line 134, in _create_client
'namespace?' % (e, wsdl_name))
bigsuds.ParseError: :12:2: mismatched tag
Failed to parse wsdl. Is "networking.VLAN" a valid namespace?

Tim_18689I was able t get this working. My idea of how it would work was much too simple. It took me a lot of trial an error becuase of my lack of understanding of how this works. I would like to have listed all the param names that I gave values for ( vlan_ids, failsafe_states, fail_safe_time_outs), but I could not figure out the syntax. If anyone can show me this it would be great.
Here is the script working to make a vlan:
!/usr/bin/python
netconfig.py
attempt to do basic network setup with icontrol
import bigsuds
b = bigsuds.BIGIP(
hostname = '10.3.213.85',
username = 'admin',
password = 'admin',
)
b.Networking.VLAN.create_v2(
['test1'],
[1102],
[[{'tag_state': 'MEMBER_UNTAGGED', 'member_type': 'MEMBER_INTERFACE', 'member_name': '1.2'}]],
['STATE_DISABLED'],
[90],
)
Next, self IPs...

Here is an improved syntax:
!/usr/bin/python
set target system and supply login info
b = bigsuds.BIGIP(
hostname = '10.3.214.70',
username = 'admin',
password = 'admin',
)
create a vlan
b.Networking.VLAN.create_v2(
vlans = ['ext-esnet'],
vlan_ids = [1101],
members = [[{'member_name': '1.1', 'member_type': 'MEMBER_INTERFACE', 'tag_state': 'MEMBER_UNTAGGED'}]],
failsafe_states = ['STATE_DISABLED'],
timeouts = [90]
)- Thank you for providing your example. So many times people post "got it working" but fail to show how they did it.
Creating a VLAN with more then one interface added.
Platform.Networking.VLAN.create_v2( vlans = ['testVLAN01'], vlan_ids = [1001], members = [[{'member_name': '1.1', 'member_type': 'MEMBER_INTERFACE', 'tag_state': 'MEMBER_UNTAGGED'}, {'member_name': '1.2', 'member_type': 'MEMBER_INTERFACE', 'tag_state': 'MEMBER_UNTAGGED'}]], failsafe_states = ['STATE_DISABLED'], timeouts = [90] )
