Is there a way to run an impact analysis on a device to where you can get a list of all impacted circuits and overlays? Thanks. |

Not built-in, but you could write a report or custom script to do this. Custom scripts have a form for data input. So if you want to prompt for a device, and list items affected by that device, this would be the way to do it. Reports would be useful if you want to, for example, provide a list of all overlays, and for each one list all the devices which it touches. Reports are able to return textual data such as a CSV file, which (AFAIK) custom scripts cannot. This requires some python programming which talks to the Django ORM. In your code, you'd follow the data model: e.g. device links to interfaces, interface links to L2VPN termination, L2VPN termination links to overlay. |
