Use the methods in the interface module to manage interfaces on the switch.

Interface Class

class Interface()

Example:
>>> from cisco.interface import *
>>> intf127 = Interface('Ethernet1/27')

interfaces

Note: a class method

interfaces(cls, refresh=False)

Example:
>>> from cisco.interface import *
>>> Interface.interfaces()
['mgmt0', 'Ethernet1/1', 'Ethernet1/2', 'Ethernet1/3', ...

Arguments:

• refresh:

Returns: A list of interfaces on the switch.

normalize

Note: a class method

normalize(cls, intf)

parsed_if

Note: a class method

parsed_if(cls, intf)

apply_config

apply_config(self)

Example:
>>> intf3.apply_config()

config

config(self, refresh=False)

Example:
>>> intf3.config()

set_description

set_description(self, d=None)

Example:
>>> intf3.set_description("Interface 3")

Arguments:

• d: A string. Description of the interface.

Returns: True on success

set_ipaddress

Sets the IP address of the interface

set_ipaddress(self, ip_address=None, mask=None, secondary=None, delete=None)

Examples:
>>> intf3.set_ipaddress("192.0.2.123")

>>> intf3.set_ipaddress("192.0.2.123/24", delete=True)

>>> intf3.set_ipaddress(ip_address="192.0.2.123", mask=24)

Arguments:

• ip_address:
• mask:
• secondary:
• delete:

Returns: True on success

set_mode

Sets the switchport mode

set_mode(self, mode='access')

Example:
>>> intf3.set_mode(mode="access")

Arguments:

• mode: Can be either 'access' or 'trunk'

Returns: True on success

set_state

set_state(self, s='up')

Example:
>>> intf3.set_state(s="no shut")

Arguments:

• s: Desired state of the interface. If s is 'up', 'no shut', or 'noshut', the interface is enabled. Otherwise it is disabled.

Returns: True on success

set_switchport

set_switchport(self, **kwargs)

Example:
>>> intf3.set_switchport()

Returns: True on success

show

show(self, key=None)

Example:
>>> intf3.show()
