pyATS example solutions for NetDevOps use cases

pyATS Solutions Examples

This repository contains several NetDevOps scripts build by our user community using pyATS Framework

Contributions

Everyone is welcome to leverage these scripts as starting points on solving common network operations challenges.

If you have additional thoughts, ideas, or samples you'd like to contribute, feel free to open a PR and become a member of the development community!

Installation

# first, ensure you have a pyATS virtual environment
# eg:
mkdir -p ~/workspace/pyats
cd ~/workspace/pyats
python3 -m venv .
source bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
pip install pyats[full]

# now, clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/CiscoTestAutomation/solutions_examples
cd solutions_examples

# install the common dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# you're good to go!

You can visit our documentation for more information.

VIRL Simulation

Many of the examples refers to the DevNet Always-On Sandbox devices. If preferred to use local VIRL file with the examples, an example_testbed.virl file can be downloaded here.

Testbed configuration

We've provided a default_testbed.yaml and devnet_sandbox.yaml to go along with the sample topology. Please double check for the latest IP and hostname information.

Notable Examples

• bgp_adjacencies - "if a neighbor is configured, it should be established"

• crc_errors - "No interface should be accumulating CRC errors"

• hostname_checker - "Verify devices hostname with Testbed file names"

solutions_examples's Issues

Missing topology.virl?

Hi, the README file mentioned a topology.virl file that can be used with the solutions. Is it still available? Thank you.

https://github.com/CiscoTestAutomation/solutions_examples/blob/master/topology.virl

position of " failed_dict[device] = {} "

line 106 -- " failed_dict[device] = {} "

Is above line to initiate the dict to store the failed neighbor for a device at the right place? It seems to me if needs to be in the device loop, not in the neighbor loop. Because if it is neighbor loop, it will become empty every time there is a failed neighbor, so only the last failed neighbor will be stored. Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks,

Ken

Cannot test bgp

Hi, thanks open this issue.

I have tried to solution_examples/bgp_adjacencies's tutorial but I got this error message below.
'''
LookupError: No such attribute in abstraction package 'genie.libs.ops': 'genie.libs.ops.bgp.bgp.Bgp'
'''
I have checked my testbed and bgp status but these are fine. I have also tried to Ping module from pyATS and that works fine.

Or accordingly this error message, probably I don't install pyATS and Genie module correctly?
