policy_delete.py¶

Description¶

Delete one or more policies.

Notes¶

All policy scripts use description as a unique key to identify a policy.

The implication when deleting policies is that a delete request will be rejected if multiple policies on the controller have the same description.

Example configuration file¶

config/policy_delete.yaml

---
config:
  - switch_name: LE3
    fabric_name: SITE3
    description: management vrf static route to syslog server
  - switch_name: LE4
    fabric_name: SITE4
    description: management vrf static route to syslog server

Example Usage¶

The example below uses environment variables for credentials, so requires only the --config argument. See Running the Example Scripts for details around specifying credentials from the command line, from environment variables, from Ansible Vault, or a combination of these credentials sources.

export ND_DOMAIN=local
export ND_IP4=192.168.7.7
export ND_PASSWORD=MySecretPassword
export ND_USERNAME=admin
./policy_delete.py --config config/policy_delete.yaml
# output not shown
