ciscoconfparse.models_nxos

class ciscoconfparse.models_nxos.NXOSCfgLine(*args, **kwargs)

An object for a parsed IOS-style configuration line. NXOSCfgLine objects contain references to other parent and child NXOSCfgLine objects.

Args:
  • line (str): A string containing a text copy of the NXOS configuration line. CiscoConfParse will automatically identify the parent and children (if any) when it parses the configuration.

  • comment_delimiter (str): A string which is considered a comment for the configuration format. Since this is for Cisco IOS-style configurations, it defaults to !.

Attributes:
  • text (str): A string containing the parsed IOS configuration statement

  • linenum (int): The line number of this configuration statement in the original config; default is -1 when first initialized.

  • parent (NXOSCfgLine()): The parent of this object; defaults to self.

  • children (list): A list of NXOSCfgLine() objects which are children of this object.

  • child_indent (int): An integer with the indentation of this object’s children

  • indent (int): An integer with the indentation of this object’s text oldest_ancestor (bool): A boolean indicating whether this is the oldest ancestor in a family

  • is_comment (bool): A boolean indicating whether this is a comment

Returns:
  • An instance of NXOSCfgLine.

Use regex to search the children of IOSCfgLine text and return the contents of the regular expression group, at the integer group index, cast as result_type; if there is no match, default is returned. Parameters ———- regex : str

A string or python compiled regular expression, which should be matched. This regular expression should contain parenthesis, which bound a match group.

groupint

An integer which specifies the desired regex group to be returned. group defaults to 1; this is only used if groupdict is None.

A type (typically one of: str, int, float, or IPv4Obj). All returned values are cast as result_type, which defaults to str. This is only used if groupdict is None.

defaultany

The default value to be returned, if there is no match.

recursebool

Set True if you want to search all children (children, grand children, great grand children, etc…)

untyped_defaultbool

Set True if you don’t want the default value to be typed; this is only used if groupdict is None.

Set to a dict of types if you want to match on regex group names; groupdict overrides the group, result_type and untyped_default arguments.

debugbool

Set True if you want to debug re_match_iter_typed() activity

Returns:
result_type

The text matched by the regular expression group; if there is no match, default is returned. All values are cast as result_type, unless untyped_default is True.

Notes
This loops through the children (in order) and returns when the regex hits its first match.

Examples

This example illustrates how you can use re_match_iter_typed() to build an IPv4Obj() address object for each interface.

groupint

An integer which specifies the desired regex group to be returned. group defaults to 1.

result_typetype

A type (typically one of: str, int, float, or IPv4Obj). All returned values are cast as result_type, which defaults to str.

defaultany

The default value to be returned, if there is no match.

untyped_defaultbool

Set True if you don’t want the default value to be typed

Returns

result_type

The text matched by the regular expression group; if there is no match, default is returned. All values are cast as result_type, unless untyped_default is True.

Examples

This example illustrates how you can use re_match_typed() to build an association between an interface name, and its numerical slot value. The name will be cast as str(), and the slot will be cast as int(). .. code-block:: python

Returns

list

A list of matching IOSCfgLine objects which matched. If there is no match, an empty list() is returned.

re_sub(regex, replacergx, ignore_rgx=None)

Replace all strings matching linespec with replacestr in the IOSCfgLine object; however, if the IOSCfgLine text matches ignore_rgx, then the text is not replaced. Parameters ———- regex : str

A string or python regular expression, which should be matched.

replacergxstr

A string or python regular expression, which should replace the text matched by regex.

ignore_rgxstr

A string or python regular expression; the replacement is skipped if IOSCfgLine text matches ignore_rgx. ignore_rgx defaults to None, which means no lines matching regex are skipped.
