Description

Use Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.5 REST APIs to get information about the Hostname/Mgmt IP Address/ SNMP Location/SerialNumber of all devices monitored by the PI. The script does the following:

  • Gets all the device type groups (Routers/4300/4200/Switches etc). Function getDeviceGroups is used for this purpose.
  • Any group that is considered as a parent directory is removed. Function RemoveGeneric is used for this purpose.
  • Function getDevices iterates through the groups and gathers the required information. If the group is empty, it moves on to the next group. The information is written into a csv file, in order to be used as input into another application. The csv created has a naming convention of: DeviceList_current_date_time.csv. The primary goal was to gather the information and feed it into netbox.

Configuration

The following global variables should be configured by the user, according to their environment.

  • USERNAME: define REST API username
  • PASSWORD: define REST API password
  • PI_ADDRESS: define IP Address of Prime Infrastructure Server

Technologies & Frameworks Used

  • NO Third-Party products or Services are used.
  • The script is written in Python 3.
