Introduction

Tiny python library to determine actual available Cisco AP models, and their full name, specific to the regulatory domain of the country you provide.

How it works..

This module reads a spreadsheet from cisco.com, which is what is contains the data being used on: https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/assets/prod/wireless/wireless-compliance-tool/index.html

This page is basically javascript, reading data from the spreadsheet, and then offering it in an interactive web form. This is all nice and fine, but if you need software to pick the APs to order for Uzbekistan or some place, this library allows you to do just that, if you know the base model and country.

full coverage...

So Cisco's list doesn't actually cover all countries, so to find the regulatory domain for countries not in Cisco's tool, we also use Junipers list to find the regulatory domains for undocumented countries. This is semi-valid, since the domains are vendor-agnostic - only cisco does not have any models for -W or World, but this way it's at least indicated that a country is not matched by Cisco.

Junipers list is here:

Usage

ENV or .env file controls the following:

• WLCL_CISCO_XLS_URL(optional): The url from which to download the Cisco spreadsheet from
  • Allows local copy if airgapped, or url changes etc?
• WLCL_SQLITE_URI(optional): override default database location: wlcl.db next to the package.
• WLCL_REFRESH_DAYS(optional): how often to check the url for updates
  • hash of parsed xls is stored, so re-parsing is only if changes are made.

>>> from ciscoaplookup import CiscoAPLookup
>>> print(CiscoAPLookup.models_for("AIR-CAP1532E", "UA"))  # Ukraine
[AIR-CAP1532E-E-K9]
# now lets try with a model not supported for Ukraine..
>>> print(CiscoAPLookup.models_for("AIR-CAP1552H", "UA"))  # Ukraine
ValueError: Found AIR-CAP1552H for UA - but no active regulatory domains?
>>> print(CiscoAPLookup.models())
