NimbostratusUsing System::Connections::delete_active_connection in ruby iControl Gem
I am attempting to delete active connections for a particular IP using the ruby iControl gem. I want to mirror the functionality of the tmsh command :
delete /sys connection cs-client-addr To do this, I'm trying to use System::Connections::delete_active_connection as detailed here. We are using the ruby iControl gem version 11.3.0.0. Here is sample code to delete a connection by IP :
def delete_active_connections(ip_addr)
result = conn["System.Connections"].delete_active_connection(["connections" => ["clientside_client" => {"address" => ip_addr}]])
result
endThis does not work and results in the error :
Exception:
Could not find element by name: addressI have not been able to find any working examples of System::Connections::delete_active_connection on devcentral. Does anyone have a working example or experience with this call? I have attempted specifying the entire connection (clientside_client, clientside_server, serverside_client, protocol) with ports, but get the same error. Any help would be appreciated.

in python, I have the following structure working (for get/delete). I'm asking internally about whether you can null a value you don't want to match, but haven't heard back yet.
b.System.Connections.delete_active_connection(connections = [ {'protocol': 'PROTOCOL_TCP', 'clientside_server': {'port': 443, 'address': '10.10.10.15'}, 'serverside_server': {'port': 80, 'address': '10.10.20.30'}, 'clientside_client': {'port': 0, 'address': '10.10.30.200'}} ]) - JRahm
OK, so I'm told you can use 0 for all ports, and 0.0.0.0 for all IPs.
vinzclorthoGot this working with 0 for all ports and "0.0.0.0" for all IPs. I also had to change the format a bit. Evidently the ruby gem is not expecting a "connections" hash key, just an array. Thanks for the help, Jason.
Working code :
def delete_active_connections(ip_addr) result = conn["System.Connections"].delete_active_connection([{ "clientside_client" => {"port" => 0, "address" => ip_addr}, "clientside_server" => {"port" => 0, "address" => "0.0.0.0"}, "serverside_server" => {"port" => 0, "address" => "0.0.0.0"}, "protocol" => "PROTOCOL_ANY" }]) result end- JRahm
The connections keyword is optional in bigsuds (python), I provided it for clarity. Glad you got it working!
