salt.modules.ciscoconfparse_mod module

Execution module for ciscoconfparse

This module can be used for basic configuration parsing, audit or validation for a variety of network platforms having Cisco IOS style configuration (one space indentation), including: Cisco IOS, Cisco Nexus, Cisco IOS-XR, Cisco IOS-XR, Cisco ASA, Arista EOS, Brocade, HP Switches, Dell PowerConnect Switches, or Extreme Networks devices. In newer versions, ciscoconfparse provides support for brace-delimited configuration style as well, for platforms such as: Juniper Junos, Palo Alto, or F5 Networks.

See http://www.pennington.net/py/ciscoconfparse/index.html for further details.

depends:	ciscoconfparse

This module depends on the Python library with the same name, ciscoconfparse - to install execute: pip install ciscoconfparse.

salt.modules.ciscoconfparse_mod.filter_lines(config=None, config_path=None, parent_regex=None, child_regex=None, saltenv='base')

Return a list of detailed matches, for the configuration blocks (parent-child relationship) whose parent respects the regular expressions configured via the parent_regex argument, and the child matches the child_regex regular expression. The result is a list of dictionaries with the following keys:

• match: a boolean value that tells whether child_regex matched any children lines.
• parent: the parent line (as text).
• child: the child line (as text). If no child line matched, this field will be None.

Note that the return list contains the elements that matched the parent condition, the parent_regex regular expression. Therefore, the parent field will always have a valid value, while match and child may default to False and None respectively when there is not child match.

CLI Example:

salt '*' ciscoconfparse.filter_lines config_path=https://bit.ly/2mAdq7z parent_regex='Gigabit' child_regex='shutdown'

Example output (for the example above):

[
    {
        'parent': 'interface GigabitEthernet1',
        'match': False,
        'child': None
    },
    {
        'parent': 'interface GigabitEthernet2',
        'match': True,
        'child': ' shutdown'
    },
    {
        'parent': 'interface GigabitEthernet3',
        'match': True,
        'child': ' shutdown'
    }
]

salt.modules.ciscoconfparse_mod.find_lines(config=None, config_path=None, regex=None, saltenv='base')

Return all the lines (as text) that match the expression in the regex argument.

config

The configuration sent as text.

Note

This argument is ignored when config_path is specified.

config_path

The absolute or remote path to the file with the configuration to be parsed. This argument supports the usual Salt filesystem URIs, e.g., salt://, https://, ftp://, s3://, etc.

regex

The regular expression to match the lines against.

saltenv: base

Salt fileserver environment from which to retrieve the file. This argument is ignored when config_path is not a salt:// URL.

CLI Example:

salt '*' ciscoconfparse.find_lines config_path=https://bit.ly/2mAdq7z regex='ip address'

Output example:

cisco-ios-router:
     -  ip address dhcp
     -  ip address 172.20.0.1 255.255.255.0
     -  no ip address

salt.modules.ciscoconfparse_mod.find_lines_w_child(config=None, config_path=None, parent_regex=None, child_regex=None, ignore_ws=False, saltenv='base')

Return a list of parent lines (as text) matching the regular expression parent_regex that have children lines matching child_regex.

config

The configuration sent as text.

Note

This argument is ignored when config_path is specified.

config_path

The absolute or remote path to the file with the configuration to be parsed. This argument supports the usual Salt filesystem URIs, e.g., salt://, https://, ftp://, s3://, etc.

parent_regex

The regular expression to match the parent lines against.

child_regex

The regular expression to match the child lines against.

ignore_ws: False

Whether to ignore the white spaces.

saltenv: base

Salt fileserver environment from which to retrieve the file. This argument is ignored when config_path is not a salt:// URL.

CLI Example:

salt '*' ciscoconfparse.find_lines_w_child config_path=https://bit.ly/2mAdq7z parent_line='line con' child_line='stopbits'
salt '*' ciscoconfparse.find_lines_w_child config_path=https://bit.ly/2uIRxau parent_regex='ge-(.*)' child_regex='unit \d+'

salt.modules.ciscoconfparse_mod.find_lines_wo_child(config=None, config_path=None, parent_regex=None, child_regex=None, ignore_ws=False, saltenv='base')

Return a list of parent ciscoconfparse.IOSCfgLine lines as text, which matched the parent_regex and whose children did not match child_regex. Only the parent ciscoconfparse.IOSCfgLine text lines will be returned. For simplicity, this method only finds oldest ancestors without immediate children that match.
