vrf_create.py¶

Description¶

Create one or more VRFs (virtual routing and forwarding instances).

Example configuration file¶

config/config_vrf_create.yaml

---
config:
  - fabric_name: MyFabric1
    vrf_display_name: MyVrf1
    vrf_id: 50005
    vrf_name: MyVrf1
    vrf_vlan_id: 3005
  - fabric_name: MyFabric1
    vrf_display_name: MyVrf2
    vrf_id: 50006
    vrf_name: MyVrf2
    vrf_vlan_id: 3006

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=10.1.1.1
export ND_PASSWORD=MySecret
export ND_USERNAME=admin
./vrf_create.py --config config/config_vrf_create.yaml
# output not shown

Example output¶
