apicPython 0.1.0

This are codes for creating MO in APIC through CLI

All the codes are in object oriented style.

Each of them does a small configuration – to create a MO. For example, createTenant.py helps you to create a tenant.

Programmer can simply write their customized script by inheriting the class createMo in “createMo.py”.

#How to install: You need to have pip in your machine. Then, you simply do: <br>pip install apicPython

After install, you can import apicPython from python.

#How to use:

All the codes support three different input methods: wizard, yaml and cli.

1. wizard: configure a mo by following a wizard. Usage: <br>python createFilter.py wizard <br>To get the help info: python createFilter.py wizard –h

2. yaml: configure a mo with a config file (yaml format). Usage: <br>python createFilter.py yaml createFilter.yaml <br>To get the help info: python createFilter.py yaml –h

3. cli: configure a mo based on you python arguments. It contains key arguments and optional arguments. Flags are used in order to call the optional arguments. Usage: <br>python createFilter.py cli 172.31.216.100 admin ins3965! tenantA filterA –e ip –i tcp <br>To get the help info: python createFilter.py cli –h

#What are those codes:

createMo.py: the basic class/module. It also contains useful functions that help programmers for writing their customized scripts.

The other scripts are functional scripts. Each of them does a small work. For example, createTenant.py only creates an “empty” tenant without any other setup.

#How to delete a mo:

Using -d flag. Example if you want to delete a filter, you can call createFilter.py with a -d flag. The delete method is supported in all three input methods. For example:

<br>python createFilter -d yaml <br>python createFilter -d wizard <br>python createFilter -d cli 172.31.216.100 admin ins3965! tenantA filterA
