Add a lag to an interface via pynetbox

[Erwan]

Hello,

Is it possible to add a lag on an existing interface via pynetbox ?

I did some tests but I can not do it...

Here is the information I retrieve / use:

Device:

command:

        sesrv=nb.dcim.devices.get(name=srsrv)

result:

        "v3bj33-cas01"

Dictionnary Device

I create a dictionnary to store all information about my device:

Command:

        dict_sesrv = {
            'name':sesrv.name,
            'id':sesrv.id,
        }

result:

{'name': 'v3bj33-cas01', 'id': 648}

Interface (to add LAG):

command:

        get_sint = nb.dcim.interfaces.get(
            device_id=sesrv.id,
            name=srint,
         )

result:

        "ETH1/14"

LACP (lag) information:

Command:

        get_po = nb.dcim.interfaces.get(
            device_id=sesrv.id,
            name=po,
        )

result:

        "Po700"

Dictionnary lag:

I create a dictionnary for lag informations:

        test={
            'id':get_po.id,
            'device':dict_sesrv,
        }

For me, I have all the information required to add my lag (already existing) on my interface

I admit I do not know if I should perform a create or update.

I tried to create but it is not working.

This is the second trial:

            test = nb.dcim.interfaces.create(
                device=dict_sesrv,    
                id=get_sint.id,
                name=get_sint.name,
                lag=test,
            )

result:

          {"non_field_errors":["The fields device, name must make a unique set."]}

So do you have an idea?

Thx

You mean, make an existing interface become a member of a LAG?

Do it the same as you would in the web interface: on the physical interface, set its "lag" attribute to point to the LAG you want to be a member of.  That would be an "update" operation, not a "create" operation.

Ok thank you for your answer.

So I tested "update" in my python script:

            new=get_dint.update(
            lag=test,
            )

But I have a new problem:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Intrefaces_IN_PO_create csv.py", line 57, in <module>
    lag=test,
TypeError: update() got an unexpected keyword argument 'lag'

Documentation for pynetbox is very sparse, but look here for an example:

https://pynetbox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/response.html#pynetbox.core.response.Record.save

It will be something like:

myint = nb.dcim.interfaces.get(...)

myint.lag = foo

myint.save()
