  • 1.  How to replace the existing configuration via PYez ?

      |   view attached

    I have a community as follows:

    set policy-options community ExpToUWIT-Primary members 64850:20150

    I need to change 64850:20150 to 64850:20050 when I change the local preference from 200 to 90

    I have the following xml

    I loaded the config as follows:

    dev.cu.load(bgp_conf, format="xml", replace = True)

     

    After executing the script, I got the following:

    set policy-options community ExpToUWIT-Primary members 64850:20150
    set policy-options community ExpToUWIT-Primary members 64850:20050

    I expected to see only the second one.

     

    Any suggestions !!

    Hi, 

    try with dev.cu.load(bgp_conf, format="xml", merge=False)

    I did, but the same result. The original 64850:20150 was not changed, a new line was added.

     

    set policy-options community ExpToUWIT-Primary members 64850:20150
    set policy-options community ExpToUWIT-Primary members 64850:20050

     

    thanks for taking a look !!

    Pretty sure it's overwrite = true 🙂

    This will replace the entire candidate configuration with the loaded configuration.

     

    gongyayu, try adding attribute node operation with value replace to your XML:

    <policy-options>
        <community operation="replace">
            <name>ExpToUWIT-Primary</name>
            <members>{1}</members>
        </community>
    </policy-options>

    Ah my bad, just looked it up and it's 'update=True'

    'Compare the complete loaded configuration against the existing configuration. Each configuration element that is different in the loaded configuration replaces its corresponding element in the existing configuration. During the commit operation, only system processes that are affected by changed configuration elements parse the new configuration.'

    can't commit after changed to be update = True

    AdamHartleyupdate=True requires a complete configuration. Exactly like overwrite=True. The only differene between the two should be that former intelligently notifies daemons which configuration actually changed.

     

    gongyayu, you weren't able to commit with update=True most likely because you were missing mandatory configuration statements like root-authentication.
