Retrieving IP addresses of interfaces using table/view

[ragsboss]

I'm trying to get IP addresses of all interfaces along with other per-interface details like speed etc. For this I'm using following table-view spec and unable to get the IP. I used the same XPATH on output of RPC and am able to get the IPs..

        {

            'InterfaceStatusTable': {

                'rpc': 'get-interface-information',

                'item': 'physical-interface',

                'view': 'InterfaceStatusView',

            },

            'InterfaceStatusView': {

                'fields': {

                    'description': 'description',

                    'speed': 'speed',

                    'ipv4': 'logical-interface[1]/address-family[address-family-name="\ninet\n"]/interface-address[1]/ifa-local',

                    'ipv4_broadcast': 'logical-interface[1]/address-family[address-family-name="\ninet\n"]/interface-address[1]/ifa-broadcast',

                }

            }

        }
gives me
[('gr-0/0/0', [('ipv4_broadcast', None), ('speed', '800mbps'), ('description', None), ('ipv4', None)]), ('pfe-0/0/0', [('ipv4_broadcast', None), ('speed', None), ('description', None), ('ipv4', None)]), ('pfh-0/0/0', [('ipv4_broadcast', None), ('speed', None), ('description', None), ('ipv4', None)]), ('xe-0/0/0', [('ipv4_broadcast', None), ('speed', '10Gbps'), ('description', 'intf-desc'), ('ipv4', None)]), ('xe-0/0/1', [('ipv4_broadcast', None)..]

The same XPATH done interactively in Python works

>>> print [etree.tostring(i) for i in ir.xpath('physical-interface/logical-interface[1]/address-family[address-family-name="\ninet\n"]/interface-address[1]/ifa-local')]

['<ifa-local>\n10.1.2.1\n</ifa-local>\n', '<ifa-local>\n128.0.0.1\n</ifa-local>\n', '<ifa-local>\n172.28.128.10\n</ifa-local>\n', '<ifa-local>\n169.254.0.2\n</ifa-local>\n', '<ifa-local>\n192.168.1.2\n</ifa-local>\n', '<ifa-local>\n192.0.2.2\n</ifa-local>\n', '<ifa-local>\n128.0.0.127\n</ifa-local>\n']

I'd also like to know if there is any better way to do this. Ex: avoid \n in search..

Appreciate any input

Thanks Rags

I believe that's exactly why your ipv4 and ipv4_broadcast fields are not matching. PyEZ automatically removes leading and trailing whitespace from XML values when using Op Tables/Views. Try removing the \n's from your XPaths.

PyEZ also allows you to enable this whitespace normalization for all RPC responses by passing the normalize=True parameter to the Device() instantiation. See the docs. I personally prefer to always enable this whitespace normalization. It only removes leading and trailing whitespace from XML values. It does not remove internal whitespace within the value.
