Fabric Search

Quickly search endpoints and routing tables across a large number of APIC's and display the results in a table.

Endpoints can be searched using the following criteria:

MAC Address
IP Address
IP Network
Node

Route can be search using the following criteria:

Prefix
VRF

It is also possible to do searches based on partial data. for example the last 4 characters of a MAC address.

Installation

pip install bp-fabric-search

Usage

Inventory File

An simple inventory file is used to store a list of APIC's to search. This is a YAML file with a name and host key

---
- name: FABRIC-1
  host: https://10.1.0.1
- name: FABRIC-2
  host: https://10.2.0.1

Environment Variables

The following environment variables are required for the script to run, these can be set using
the EXPORT command or loaded in at runtime from a .env file.

INVENTORY_USERNAME="USERNAME"
INVENTORY_PASSWORD="PASSWORD"

# Optional value for path to inventory file
# if not included it will default to inventory.yml

INVENTORY_PATH=path/to/my/inventory.yml
