migrate_cat3k.py question

[Lanlord7]

Is there a forum for this script? I'd love to review some tips and tricks to get it to work. It seems to kick off but I only see a connection in the change log for new networks and not for this existing one.

There is no official support forum for scripts in this repository, but you can always try the Meraki Community API section, if you want input from people who have run them: https://community.meraki.com/t5/Developers-APIs/bd-p/api

If you suspect that you might be hitting a bug, then a GitHub issue, like the one you created, is the correct way to get our attention.

Could you elaborate a bit more on the symptom you are experiencing? What do you refer to as new networks vs an existing one?

[Lanlord7]

Thanks, I'll check out Meraki's resources.

The symptom is that the script seems to run but I don't see an entry in the change log.

Reading init config file... Fetching dashboard organization... Reading configuration from source devices... Parsing source configration... Creating networks... Claiming devices... Configuring devices... Committing action batch: [{'resource': '/devices/Q2NW-784P-XXXX/switchPorts/36', 'operation': 'update', 'body': {'vlan': '19'}}, {'resource': '/devices/Q2NW-784P-XXXX/switchPorts/37', 'operation': 'update', 'body': {'vlan': '23'}}}] Waiting for action batches to complete...

End of script.

Here is the Cat config file. Morton is an existing network that contains the switch Q2NW-784P-XXXX

net=Morton file IOS-3750X-config2.txt Q2NW-784P-XXXX

If I change the network name to something that does not exist, I see an entry in the change log and the new network is created.

net=Network for switch stack file IOS-3750X-config2.txt Q2NW-784P-XXXX

My bottom line question is if this script can be used on existing networks and switches or if it's just use to build new networks and switches?

Thanks,

Jeff

1. Do you see configuration changes being applied though? If you see config being applied, but no entries in the Change log, then that would be an issue in the Change log itself, and not something that can be fixed in this piece of code. If that is the case, I would recommend opening a case with Meraki support. If you are not seeing config being applied, even though it should, let me know, as it might be caused by an issue in the script.

2. It is a very long time since I wrote this script, but if I decipher my code correctly, it should work for existing networks as well. It attempts to add networks if they do not exist, and after that attempts to apply config to both newly created and existing networks. That is the intention at least. If your results are different, let me know.

[Lanlord7]

Thank you so much for the response.

1. No, I am not seeing the config changes reflected on the ports.

2. I've got another build that I can test in a few weeks where I can create a new network and see if it can add the network and switch and modify the ports. Ideally, the script would work at any time on new and existing switches.

Thanks,

Jeff

Sounds like the script has a bug or could use an additional feature. I am working on something else right now, so cannot take a look at possible modifications immediately.

If someone in the community would like to take a stab at improving this script, let me know. Otherwise, I will look into this more closely once I am able to.

[Lanlord7]

Thanks so much. I'm afraid that I don't know anyone in the community so I guess I'll have to wait for you to take a look. Any time you can find would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeff

As an update, I learned that v0 has been sunsetted and is to be replaced with v1.

https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api/#!introduction/meraki-dashboard-api-v0

Having done that, I'm now getting some errors.

Here is the contents of the init config file.

Is there a certain file structure I should be using?

Thanks in advance.
