salt.grains.napalm¶

salt.grains.napalm.getos(proxy=None)¶

Returns the Operating System name running on the network device.

Example: junos, iosxr, eos, ios etc.

CLI Example - select all network devices running JunOS:

salt -G 'os:junos' test.ping

salt.grains.napalm.host(proxy=None)¶

This grain is set by the NAPALM grain module only when running in a proxy minion. When Salt is installed directly on the network device, thus running a regular minion, the host grain provides the physical hostname of the network device, as it would be on an ordinary minion server. When running in a proxy minion, host points to the value configured in the pillar: NAPALM proxy module.

Note

The diference between host and hostname is that host provides the physical location - either domain name or IP address, while hostname provides the hostname as configured on the device. They are not necessarily the same.

New in version 2017.7.0.

CLI Example:

salt 'device*' grains.get host

Output:

device1:
    ip-172-31-13-136.us-east-2.compute.internal
device2:
    ip-172-31-11-193.us-east-2.compute.internal
device3:
    ip-172-31-2-181.us-east-2.compute.internal

salt.grains.napalm.host_dns(proxy=None)¶

Return the DNS information of the host. This grain is a dictionary having two keys:

• A

• AAAA

Note

This grain is disabled by default, as the proxy startup may be slower when the lookup fails. The user can enable it using the napalm_host_dns_grain option (in the pillar or proxy configuration file):

napalm_host_dns_grain: true

New in version 2017.7.0.

CLI Example:

salt 'device*' grains.get host_dns

Output:

device1:
    A:
        - 172.31.9.153
    AAAA:
        - fd52:188c:c068::1
device2:
    A:
        - 172.31.46.249
    AAAA:
        - fdca:3b17:31ab::17
device3:
    A:
        - 172.31.8.167
    AAAA:
        - fd0f:9fd6:5fab::1

salt.grains.napalm.hostname(proxy=None)¶

Return the hostname as configured on the network device.

CLI Example:

salt 'device*' grains.get hostname

Output:

device1:
    edge01.yyz01
device2:
    edge01.bjm01
device3:
    edge01.flw01

salt.grains.napalm.interfaces(proxy=None)¶

Returns the complete interfaces list of the network device.

Example: ['lc-0/0/0', 'pfe-0/0/0', 'xe-1/3/0', 'lo0', 'irb', 'demux0', 'fxp0']

CLI Example - select all devices that have a certain interface, e.g.: xe-1/1/1:

salt -G 'interfaces:xe-1/1/1' test.ping

Output:

edge01.yyz01:
    True
edge01.maa01:
    True
edge01.syd01:
    True
edge01.del01:
    True
edge01.dus01:
    True
edge01.kix01:
    True

salt.grains.napalm.model(proxy=None)¶

Returns the network device chassis model.

Example: MX480, ASR-9904-AC etc.

CLI Example - select all Juniper MX480 routers and execute traceroute to 8.8.8.8:

salt -G 'model:MX480' net.traceroute 8.8.8.8

salt.grains.napalm.optional_args(proxy=None)¶

Return the connection optional args.

Note

Sensible data will not be returned.

New in version 2017.7.0.

CLI Example - select all devices connecting via port 1234:

salt -G 'optional_args:port:1234' test.ping

Output:

device1:
    True
device2:
    True

salt.grains.napalm.serial(proxy=None)¶

Returns the chassis serial number.

Example: FOX1234W00F

CLI Example - select all devices whose serial number begins with FOX and display the serial number value:

salt -G 'serial:FOX*' grains.get serial

Output:

edge01.icn01:
    FOXW00F001
edge01.del01:
    FOXW00F002
edge01.yyz01:
    FOXW00F003
edge01.mrs01:
    FOXW00F004

salt.grains.napalm.uptime(proxy=None)¶

Returns the uptime in seconds.

CLI Example - select all devices started/restarted within the last hour:

salt -G 'uptime<3600' test.ping

salt.grains.napalm.username(proxy=None)¶

Return the username.

New in version 2017.7.0.

CLI Example - select all devices using foobar as username for connection:

salt -G 'username:foobar' test.ping

Output:

device1:
    True
device2:
    True

salt.grains.napalm.vendor(proxy=None)¶

Returns the network device vendor.

Example: juniper, cisco, arista etc.

CLI Example - select all devices produced by Cisco and shutdown:

salt -G 'vendor:cisco' net.cli "shut"

salt -G 'os:junos and version:13.3R6.5' grains.get model

Output:

edge01.bjm01:
    MX2000
