Python Comware7 Ansible Library

Python library for integrating Ansible with the Comware7 embedded system, enabling automation of inventory and device orchestration.

Installation

Create a new virtual environment

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

Install the package

pip install pycw7-ansible

Usage

Import Libraries

First of all, import the libraries of comware 7 connection and vlan features.

>>> from pycw7_ansible.comware import COM7
>>> from pycw7_ansible.features.vlan import Vlan

Open Connection

To open a connection, you need to create a dictionary with the device parameters and pass it to the COM7 class, then call the open method, as shown below:

>>> HOST_IP = "10.100.73.119"
>>> USERNAME = "ped"
>>> PASSWORD = "Admin@1234"
>>> PORT = 830
>>> args = dict(host=HOST_IP, username=USERNAME, password=PASSWORD, port=PORT)
>>> device = COM7(**args)
>>> device.open()
<ncclient.manager.Manager object at 0x7c5536f51d60>

Getting Example Configuration

To get the configuration of a feature, you need to create an instance of the feature class and call the get_config method, as shown below:

>>> vlan1 = Vlan(device, "1")
>>> config = vlan1.get_config()
>>> print(config)
{'vlanid': '1', 'name': 'VLAN 0001', 'descr': 'VLAN-1-MANAGEMENT'}
