WORK IN PROGRESS
This package provides a CLI and python modules useful to integrate between the IP Fabric product and the Netbox project.
The premise of this tool is that Netbox represents the "network as expected" and IP Fabric contains information about the network "as built" or "actual". I want to be able to "synchronize" aspects of IP Fabric database into Netbox. There are a few motivating reasons:
New deployment of Netbox and I want to use my existing network as the basis for the initial Netbox datatset.
Network engineers make changes to the network via CLI, and I want to "reconcile" those changes into the Netbox system.
The ipf-netbox tool provides a number tasks that perform checks and synchronizations. The
following tasks are planned for this tool.
ensure-sites - Ensure that Netbox contains the same Sites as provided in IP Fabricensure-devices - Ensure that Netbox contains the same Devices as provided in IP Fabric. Check the devie
site, and facts about the device such as vendor, model, and serial-number.ensure-interfaces - Ensure that Netbox devices contains the same set of data as provided in IP Fabric.
The data includes the full interface-name and interface-description.ensure-ipaddrs - Ensure that Netbox IPAM system includes the IP addresses defined in IP Fabric as
"managed IP addresses". Ensure that the IP addresses are correctly assgined to Netbox device interfaces.
