[1mNAME[0m Cisco::ACI - Perl interface to the Cisco APIC API. [1mSYNOPSIS[0m This module provides a Perl interface to Cisco APIC API. use Cisco::ACI; my $aci = Cisco::ACI->new( username=> $username, password=> $password, server => $server ); # Required! $aci->login; # Get the leaf nodes of the pod as an array of # Cisco::ACI::FabricNode objects. my @leafs = $aci->get_leafs; # Same but for spines (both leaf and spine nodes # are Cisco::ACI::FabricNode objects). my @spines = $aci->get_spines; # Or, get a leaf by ID - still returns a # Cisco::ACI::FabricNode object. my $leaf = $aci->(101); # Do some interesting stuff with it. # Like, get the 5min measurements of policy CAM (TCAM) usage # as a Cisco::ACI::Eqptcapacity::PolUsage object. my $pol_usage = $leaf->PolUsage( '5min' ); # So now we can calculate the policy CAM utilisation my $pol_utilisation = ( $pol_usage->polUsageCum / $pol_usage->polUsageCapCum ) * 100; # Or get the number of faults present my $faults = $leaf->fault_counts; printf( 'Node %s has %d Minor, %d Major, %d Warning, and %d Critical faults\n', $leaf->name, $faults->minor, $faults->maj, $faults->warn, $faults->crit ); # And much more... [1mMETHODS[0m new ( %ARGS ) Constructor. Creates a new Cisco::ACI object. This method accepts three mandatory and two optional named parameters: [1musername[0m The username with which to connect to the Cisco APIC API. [1mpassword[0m The password with which to connect to the Cisco APIC API. [1mserver[0m The resolvable hostname of the Cisco ACI APIC to connect to. [1mport[0m The TCP port on which to connect to the Cisco ACI APIC, if not specified this parameter will default to a value of 443, which is probably what you want. [1mproto[0m The protocol to use when connecting to the Cisco ACI APIC, if not specified this parameter will default to a value of 'https', which is probably what you want. bd_constraint () Returns the maximum configurable number Bridge Domains (fvBD) in the fabric. bd_count () Returns the number of configured Bridge Domains (fvBD) in the fabric. cluster_appliances () Returns all APICs in the cluster as an array of Cisco::ACI::Infra::WiNode objects. Note that APICs are also separately represented as devices of type Cisco::ACI::FabricNode within the Cisco APIC MO (see method [1mcontrollers()[0m). cluster_standby_appliances () Returns all standby APICs in the cluster as an array of Cisco::ACI::Infra::SnNode objects. concrete_devices_constraint () Returns the maximum configurable number concrete devices (vnsCDev) in the fabric. concrete_devices_count () Returns the number of configured concrete devices (vnsCDev) in the fabric. contract_constraint () Returns the maximum configurable number contracts (vzBrCP) in the fabric. contract_count () Returns the number of configured contracts (vzBrCP) in the fabric. controllers () Returns all APICs in the cluster as an array of Cisco::ACI::FabricNode objects. Note that APICs are also separately represented as devices of type Cisco::ACI::Infra::WiNode within the Cisco APIC MO (see method [1mcluster_appliances()[0m). controller ( $ID ) Returns the APIC identified by the $ID parameter as a Cisco::ACI::FabricNode object. Note that APICs are numbered sequentially starting from 1. ep_constraint () Returns the maximum configurable number end points (fvCEp) in the fabric. ep_count () Returns the number of configured end points (fvCEp) in the fabric. epg_constraint () Returns the maximum configurable number end point groups (fvAEPg) in the fabric. epg_count () Returns the number of configured end point groups (fvAEPg) in the fabric. fabric_links () Returns all fabric links as an array of Cisco::ACI::Fabric::Link objects. faults () Returns all fabric faults as an array of Cisco::ACI::Fault::Inst objects. fexs () Returns all fabric extendeds (fexs) as an array of Cisco::ACI::Eqpt::ExtCh objects. get_capability_rules () Returns all capacity rules as an array of Cisco::ACI::FvcapRule objects. health () Returns the fabric health as an array of Cisco::ACI::Health::Inst objects. leaf ( $ID ) Returns the leaf node identified the the [1m$ID[0m parameter as a Cisco::ACI::FabricNode object. leafs () Returns all leaf nodes as an array of Cisco::ACI::FabricNode objects. login () Perfoms a login to the ACI APIC API - note that merely calling the constructor does not automatically log you into the fabric. Rather you are required to invoke this method to do so. overallHealth5min () Returns the overall health of the fabric for the previous fivce minute interval as an Cisco::ACI::Stats::Curr::OverallHealth object. service_graph_constraint () Returns the maximum configurable number of service graphs (vnsGraphInst) in the fabric. service_graph_count () Returns the number of configured service graphs (vnsGraphInst) in the fabric. spine ( $ID ) Returns the spine node identified the the [1m$ID[0m parameter as a Cisco::ACI::FabricNode object. spines () Returns all spine nodes as an array of Cisco::ACI::FabricNode objects. tenant ( $TENANT ) Returns the tenant identified by the $TENANT parameter as a Cisco::ACI:Tenant object. tenant_constraint () Returns the maximum configurable number of tenant (fvTenant) in the fabric. tenant_count () Returns the number of configured tenants (fvTenant) in the fabric. vrf_constraint () Returns the maximum configurable number of VRFs (fvCtx) in the fabric. vrf_count () Returns the number of configured VRFs (fvCtx) in the fabric.
