SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the management of network device configurations within Cisco NSO, enabling efficient retrieval, synchronization, and inspection of device states and platform information.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Configuration Management: Retrieve, compare, and synchronize device configurations with NSO's Configuration Database (CDB).
  • State Inspection: Gather operational data such as interface counters and device status.
  • Platform Information: Extract detailed hardware and software versions for inventory and auditing.
  • Use Case: Before a network change, use this Skill to baseline the current configuration from NSO, ensuring a clear audit trail and a point for rollback.

Quick Start

Use the nso-device-ops skill to get the full configuration for the device named 'core-router-1' from NSO.

FAQPage Schema
How do I retrieve a device configuration from Cisco NSO using RESTCONF?▼

Retrieve device configurations from Cisco NSO using RESTCONF by querying the Configuration Database to extract running configs for specific network devices like core routers.

What is the best way to synchronize network device states in Cisco NSO?▼

Synchronize network device states in Cisco NSO by comparing live device configurations against the Configuration Database to check sync status and pull the latest running config.

Do I need environment variables to connect to the Cisco NSO server?▼

Yes, connecting to the Cisco NSO server requires setting the NSO_ADDRESS, NSO_USERNAME, and NSO_PASSWORD environment variables to enable secure RESTCONF access for device operations.

Can I gather hardware and software platform information from devices managed in NSO?▼

Yes, you can gather hardware and software platform information from devices managed in NSO by inspecting operational state data to extract version details for inventory auditing and baseline tracking.

How do I inspect interface counters and operational state for NSO-managed devices?▼

Inspect interface counters and operational state for NSO-managed devices by querying state data through RESTCONF, allowing you to gather device status and operational counters for network monitoring.

Does this approach support managing device groups within Cisco NSO?▼

Yes, this approach supports managing device groups within Cisco NSO, allowing you to organize network devices into logical groups for batch configuration retrieval, synchronization, and state inspection operations.
