SDWAN Uplink Automation

Using SDWAN device template APIs we can automate the selection of uplinks on all SDWAN nodes, for this pourpous we can create different templates that activate different uplinks and use the device tempale API to automate the switching of uplinks from other programs a very stright forward usecase is cost optimisation on uplinks where a customer can link its cost monitoring app to SDWAN using this API and keep switching between Uplinks based on pricing

This prototype is a sciprt that can be trgred by another prgram and activate one template on a selcted device.

Install:

Clone the repo :

$ git clone https://github.com/gve-sw/sdwan-uplink-automation

Install dependencies :

$ pip install requests
$ pip install click

Setup:

Retrieve template Id and device UUID :

Using the sdwan.py device template toolkit you can retrieve the template id and device uuid, you can discover more about sdwan API here LINK

Retrieve your device UUID: update 'Nyiregyhaza' with your device name and copy the device ID

$ python3 sdwan.py device-list --search 'Nyiregyhaza'
Retrieving the devices.

Retrieve your template ID: update 'Nyiregyhaza' with your template name and copy the selcted template ID:

$ python3 sdwan.py template-list --search 'Nyiregyhaza'
Retrieving the templates available.

Update the script attach_template_script.py:

Update the following section with your details:

SDWAN_IP = "your vmanage host here"
SDWAN_USERNAME = "your user name here"
SDWAN_PASSWORD = "you pasword here"
#Update target device and template 
TEMPLATEID = "your template id here"  
DEVICEID = "your device UUID here"

You can test this script using the SDWAN sandbox on DevNet LINK

Usage:

Launch the script by issuing

$ python3 attach_template_script.py

Notice the change of attached devices to your template using the sdwan.py

$ python3 sdwan.py template-list --search 'Nyiregyhaza'
Retrieving the templates available.
