Hello all, 

coming from a Cisco world, I often run that command to check on things. So I wanted to create a script (in .slax) to perform similarly on an EX4300. 

I managed to write one that list each interface with its name, status, port negotiation, and other info from the "sh inter media". Now, the only thing missing is the vlan info. 

On the EX4300, the command found to obtain that info, is "show ethernet-switching interface".  The XML returned is a list of l2ng-l2ald-iff-interface-entry, one for each interface. Within that entity, there is another list of l2ng-l2ald-iff-interface-entry, the first one has the logical interface's name with the other member of that list being each of the vlan associated with the interface.

So given the logical interface name, how can I fetch how many vlan associated with an interface, and vlan name of first vlan. 

Here's the structure for ge-0/0/0.0

Hi,

I'm not sure that I quite know what the possible structures are for this RPC reply as I don't have a device to hand that I can easily test against.

But would something like the following work?

for-each ($result/l2ng-l2ald-iff-interface-entry) {    expr "interface: " _ l2ng-l2ald-iff-interface-entry[1]/l2iff-interface-name;    expr " count: " _ count(l2ng-l2ald-iff-interface-entry)-1;    expr " vlan: " _ l2ng-l2ald-iff-interface-entry[2]/l2iff-interface-vlan-name;}

Regards.
