Hi,
I gave "brocadecli" a major rewrite and re-named the software to "mlxsh"
(mlx shell) to also reflect the incoming vendor change. I have added
some cool new features to make my life within the Netiron platform more
complete and less miserable, that I also want to share with you. My
favorite things are label-based executions and running one-liners for
maintenance via cron.
Things work as simple as installing the binaries for Mac/Linux/Windows,
without adding tons of python stuff, playbook commands, etc … ;-)
Have a trial at
https://github.com/ipcjk/mlxsh/releases
or pull as a docker image:
docker run -ti joerg/mlxsh /bin/sh
New features:
- hosts config file in YAML:
- Hostname: frankfurt-rt1
Username: frankfurt
Password: password
EnablePassword: enable
DeviceType: mlx
KeyFile: /Users/joerg/.ssh/id_rsa2
Labels:
location: frankfurt
environment: production
type: mlx
sweetrouter: yes
- ssh key auth for login
- one-liners on command line:
mlxsh -hostname frankfurt-rt1 -script "show uptime"
mlxsh -hostname frankfurt-rt1 -username operator -password foo -enable
foo -script "show ip bgp summ"
- several commands on command line:
mlxsh -hostname frankfurt-rt1 -script 'show uptime; show module |
include NI-XMR; show version'
- grep-able output:
mlxsh -hostname frankfurt-rt1 -script "show uptime" | grep MP
- label-based execution and configuration on router-groups, also great
for scheduled maintenance within cron, reloading IX-configs at night,
reload the router for testing HA, ….
mlxsh -label "location=frankfurt,type=mlx" -script 'show ip cache'
mlxsh -label "location=munich" -config scripts/bgp_neighbor
mlxsh -label "mission=DECIX" -routerdb='/home/mlxsh/mlxsh.yaml' -config
/home/ixgen/decix
- mass / parallel execution in background on router-groups with the -c
flag, defaults to two
mlxsh -c10 -label "location=munich" -script 'show ip bgp 8.8.8.8'
Best regards
Jörg
