SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Cisco NSO device operations streamline access to device configurations, operational state, and inventory so operators can verify sync, audit platforms, and manage device groups from a single interface.

Core Features & Use Cases

Retrieve full device configurations from NSO's CDB via RESTCONF.
Inspect device operational state, platform details, and NED IDs to support pre-change validation and inventory reconciliation.
List device groups and capabilities to plan bulk updates or migrations across a network.

Quick Start

Start by launching the NSO MCP server and querying a few devices to validate configuration retrieval and sync status.

FAQPage Schema

How do I retrieve device configurations from Cisco NSO via RESTCONF?▼

Retrieve device configurations from Cisco NSO by identifying managed devices and extracting their full configurations from NSO's CDB via RESTCONF. This verifies synchronization status and supports configuration auditing across network environments.

What is the best way to verify NSO device synchronization status across environments?▼

Verifying NSO device synchronization status involves listing device groups, identifying NED IDs, and extracting platform inventory for individual devices. This validates whether device configurations match their operational state across different network environments.

Do I need specific environment variables to access NSO device inventory and state?▼

Accessing NSO device inventory and state requires RESTCONF access and specific environment variables: NSO_ADDRESS, NSO_USERNAME, and NSO_PASSWORD. You also need permissions to read configurations and device state from the NSO server.

How do I list NSO device groups and capabilities for bulk network updates?▼

List NSO device groups and capabilities by querying the NSO server to retrieve group memberships and associated feature sets. This helps plan bulk updates, migrations, and inventory reconciliation across the managed network infrastructure.

Can I inspect device operational state and NED IDs through NSO orchestration?▼

Inspect device operational state and NED IDs through NSO orchestration by querying platform details and extracted inventory for individual devices. This supports pre-change validation and ensures correct Network Equipment Driver mappings for managed devices.
