Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN SDK for Python

Cisco Catalyst WAN SDK is a package for creating simple and parallel automatic requests via official Manager API. It is intended to serve as a multiple session handler (provider, provider as a tenant, tenant). The library is not dependent on environment which is being run in, you just need a connection to any Manager.

Installation

pip install catalystwan

Session usage example

Our session is an extension to requests.Session designed to make it easier to communicate via API calls with SDWAN Manager. We provide ready to use authentication, you have to simply provide the Manager url, username and password as as if you were doing it through a GUI.

from catalystwan.session import create_manager_session

url = "example.com"
username = "admin"
password = "password123"
with create_manager_session(url=url, username=username, password=password) as session:
    session.get("/dataservice/device")

# When interacting with the SDWAN Manager API without using a context manager, it's important 
# to manually execute the `close()` method to release the user session resource.

session = create_manager_session(url=url, username=username, password=password)
session.get("/dataservice/device")
session.close()

Ensure that the close() method is called after you have finished using the session to maintain optimal resource management and avoid potential errors.

    siteIds=[]
)
session.api.resource_groups.create(new_resource_group)

# update resource group
resource_group = session.api.resource_groups.get().filter(name="new_resource_group").single_or_default()
updated_resource_group = ResourceGroupUpdateRequest(
    id=resource_group.id,
    name=resource_group.name,
    desc="Custom Resource Group #1 with updated description and site ids",
    siteIds=[200]
)

# switch to resource group view
session.api.resource_groups.switch("new_resource_group")

# delete resource group
session.api.resource_groups.delete(resource_group.id)

Tenant management (click to expand)

api = session.api.tenant_management
# create tenants
tenants = [
    Tenant(
        name="tenant1",
        orgName="CiscoDevNet",
        subDomain="alpha.bravo.net",
        desc="This is tenant for unit tests",

Tenant migration (click to expand)

from pathlib import Path
from catalystwan.session import create_manager_session
from catalystwan.models.tenant import TenantExport
from catalystwan.workflows.tenant_migration import migration_workflow

tenant = TenantExport(
    name="mango",
    desc="Mango tenant description",
    org_name="Provider Org-Mango Inc",
    subdomain="mango.fruits.com",
    wan_edge_forecast=100,
    migration_key="MangoTenantMigrationKey",   # only for SDWAN Manager >= 20.13
    is_destination_overlay_mt=True,            # only for SDWAN Manager >= 20.13
)

with create_manager_session(url="10.0.1.15", username="st-admin", password="") as origin_session, \
     create_manager_session(url="10.9.0.16", username="mt-provider-admin", password="") as target_session:
    migration_workflow(
        origin_session=origin_session,
        target_session=target_session,
        workdir=Path("workdir"),
        tenant=tenant,
        validator="10.9.12.26"
    )

migration_workflow performs multi-step migration procedure according to Migrate Single-Tenant Cisco SD-WAN Overlay to Multitenant Cisco SD-WAN Deployment

Since 20.13 also MT to ST is supported (just provide suitable origin/target sessions, and is_destination_overlay_mt parameter)

Each step of the migration_workflow procedure can be executed independently using api methods: export_tenant, download, import_tenant, store_token, migrate_network

origin_api = origin_session.api.tenant_migration_api
target_api = target_session.api.tenant_migration_api
tenant_file = Path("~/tenant.tar.gz")
token_file = Path("~/tenant-token.txt")
# export
export_task = origin_api.export_tenant(tenant=tenant)
remote_filename = export_task.wait_for_file()
# download
origin_api.download(export_path, remote_filename)
# import
import_task = target_api.import_tenant(export_path, tenant.migration_key)
import_task.wait_for_completed()
# get token
migration_id = import_task.import_info.migration_token_query_params.migration_id
target_api.store_token(migration_id, token_path)
# migrate network
migrate_task = origin_api.migrate_network(token_path)
migrate_task.wait_for_completed()

Note:

To remove InsecureRequestWarning, you can include in your scripts (warning is suppressed when catalystwan_devel environment variable is set):

import urllib3
urllib3.disable_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning)

Catching Exceptions

try:
	session.api.users.delete_user("XYZ")
except vManageBadRequestError as error:
	# Process an error.
	logger.error(error.info.details)

# message = 'Delete users request failed' 
# details = 'No user with name XYZ was found' 
# code = 'USER0006'
