What you can do with these steps

You can execute the following "add" command from the CLI.

Basic syntax:

python [file path]/network_sketcher.py [command] --master [master file path]
  • The part marked as [command] 、--master [master file path] below can be modified.
    python [file path]/network_sketcher.py -master [master file path] [command]

add ip_address

This process allows you to create an IP address for a Layer 3 interface. You can create one IP address at a time; by repeating the process, you can add multiple IP addresses.

python [file path]/network_sketcher.py add ip_address [hostname] [layer3_portname] [ip_address/subnetmask] --master [master file path] 
  • ex.

+BEFORE+
#python .\network_sketcher.py show l3_interface --master "C:\work\[MASTER]test.xlsx"
['L3SW2', 'Vlan 100', '', '']

+IP Address added+
#python .\network_sketcher.py add ip_address 'L3SW2' 'Vlan 100' '192.168.100.100/24' --master "C:\work\[MASTER]test.xlsx"
--- IP Address added --- L3SW2,Vlan 100,192.168.100.100/24

+AFTER+
#python .\network_sketcher.py show l3_interface --master "C:\work\[MASTER]test.xlsx"
['L3SW2', 'Vlan 100', '', '192.168.100.100/24']

add l2_segment

This feature allows you to create Layer 2 segments (such as VLANs) on the interface. You can create one Layer 2 segment at a time, and multiple Layer 2 segments can be created.

python [file path]/network_sketcher.py add ip_address [hostname] [layer2_portname] [l2segment_name] --master [master file path] 
  • ex.

+BEFORE+
#python .\network_sketcher.py show l3_interface --master "C:\work\[MASTER]test.xlsx"
['L3SW2', 'GigabitEthernet 0/0', '', 'Vlan100,Vlan200,Vlan300', '']

+l2_segment added+
#python .\network_sketcher.py add l2_segment 'L3SW2' 'GigabitEthernet 0/0' 'addvlan999' --master "C:\work\[MASTER]test.xlsx"
--- l2 Segment added --- L3SW2,GigabitEthernet 0/0,addvlan999

+AFTER+
#python .\network_sketcher.py show l3_interface --master "C:\work\[MASTER]test.xlsx"
['L3SW2', 'GigabitEthernet 0/0', '', 'Vlan100,Vlan200,Vlan300,addvlan999', '']

add virtual_port

We will create Layer 3 interfaces, such as VLAN interfaces (SVIs).

python [file path]/network_sketcher.py add virtual_port [hostname] [virtual_portname] --master [master file path] 
  • ex.

+BEFORE+
#python .\network_sketcher.py show l2_interface --master "C:\work\[MASTER]test.xlsx"
['L3SW2', '', 'Vlan 300', 'Vlan300', '']

#python .\network_sketcher.py show l3_interface --master "C:\work\[MASTER]test.xlsx"
['L3SW2', 'Vlan 300', '', '']

+virtual_port added+
#python .\network_sketcher.py add l2_segment 'L3SW2' 'GigabitEthernet 0/0' 'addvlan999' --master "C:\work\[MASTER]test.xlsx"
--- Virtual Port added --- L3SW2,addvlan 999

+AFTER+
#python .\network_sketcher.py show l2_interface --master "C:\work\[MASTER]test.xlsx"
['L3SW2', '', 'addvlan 999', '', '']
['L3SW2', '', 'Vlan 100', 'Vlan100', '']

#python .\network_sketcher.py show l3_interface --master "C:\work\[MASTER]test.xlsx"
['L3SW2', 'Vlan 300', '', '']
['L3SW2', 'addvlan 999', '', '']
