Introduction

This document provides examples for using Python script to set up an IRF fabric automatically.

Prerequisites

The configuration examples in this document were created and verified in a lab environment, and all the devices were started with the factory default configuration. When you are working on a live network, make sure you understand the potential impact of every command on your network.

This document assumes that you have basic knowledge of IRF, Python, and automatic IRF setup.

General restrictions and guidelines

The switch can form an IRF fabric only with switches from the same series.

All IRF member devices must run the same software image version. Make sure the software auto-update feature is enabled on all member devices.

Example: Using Python script to set up an IRF fabric automatically

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1, the administrator has only remote access to Device A and Device B, which have been physically connected for IRF setup. To have the two devices automatically configured into an IRF fabric:

·     Edit a Python script file to configure Device A and Device B as follows:

¡     Enable the devices to merge into an IRF fabric automatically.

¡     Enable Telnet access to the IRF fabric, and configure password authentication on VTY lines.

·     Store the Python file on an HTTP file server.

·     Issue the Python script file to the devices through a DHCP server.

Restrictions and guidelines

When you set up an IRF fabric by using Python script, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

·     To do a successful automatic IRF setup, make sure the network environment has been set up as planned before you power on the candidate IRF member devices.

In this example, make sure the network has been set up as shown in Figure 1 before you power on Device A and Device B.

·     The devices can start python-based automatic IRF setup only upon initial power-on or when they do not have next-startup configuration files.

·     Two devices must run the same software version for a successful IRF setup. To ensure a successful IRF setup, edit the script to have the IRF member devices load the same software version.

·     As a best practice, do not edit the provided Python script file in this document. If the file contains an error (including unnecessary spaces or characters), you will receive the File "autocfgjuQccA", line n error message. The message indicates that the command at line n has failed to execute.

·     The IRF setup script contains steps to verify validity of the configuration files and software image file.

¡     If file validity check is desirable, save the configuration and software image files along with their correct MD5 files to the HTTP file server. Invalid MD5 files cause file download failures.

¡     If file validity check is not desirable, you do not need to save the MD5 files for the configuration and software image files on the server. The system will skip file validity check and continue with subsequent steps. In this situation, you will receive an MD5 file retrieval failure message, which does not require administrative action.

Procedures

Configuring Device C (the DHCP server)

	IMPORTANT: IP address assignment and route configuration must ensure that the switches and the file server can reach each other.

 

1.     Configure the DHCP server:

# Enable DHCP.

<DeviceC> system-view

[DeviceC] dhcp enable

# Configure an address pool to assign IP addresses to the subnet that contains the member switches. This example uses the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet.

[DeviceC] dhcp server ip-pool 1

[DeviceC-dhcp-pool-1] network 192.168.1.0 24

# Specify the URL of the script file for the clients.

[DeviceC-dhcp-pool-1] bootfile-name http://192.168.1.40/device.py

[DeviceC-dhcp-pool-1] quit

Preparing files

1.     Create the Python script file for IRF setup and then store it on the HTTP server. In this example, the script file is named device.py.

Use the script to have each member device perform the following operations:

a.     (Optional.) Verifies that the flash memory has sufficient storage space for the downloaded files.

b.     Downloads the files for IRF setup from the HTTP server, including the configuration file, the software image file, and the sn.txt.

c.     Sets the software image file as the main startup image file.

d.     Assigns a unique IRF member ID to each member device based on their SNs.

e.     Specifies the configuration file as the main next-startup configuration file.

f.     Reboots.

The following is the sample Python script file content:

2.     Create a configuration file for each device and save the configuration files to the HTTP server.

Name the configuration files in serial_number.cfg format, where the serial_number argument represents the serial number of the device.

In the configuration files, specify the configuration for IRF setup and parameters for device login (telnet in this example), including login authentication settings.

 

NOTE: To obtain the serial number, use one of the following methods: ·     Examine the label on the chassis rear panel. ·     Execute the display device manuinfo command.

 

This example uses the following configuration files:

¡     210235A045B05B0004354.cfg:

#

telnet server enable

#

 irf mac-address persistent timer

 irf auto-update enable

 undo irf link-delay

 irf member 1 priority 1

#

irf-port 1/2

 port group interface Ten-GigabitEthernet1/1/1 mode enhanced

#

interface Ten-GigabitEthernet1/1/1

 port link-mode bridge

#

interface M-GigabitEthernet0/0/0

 ip address 192.168.0.63 255.255.255.0

#

 user-role network-admin

 set authentication password simple 123

#

¡     210235A045B05B0004350.cfg:

#

telnet server enable

#

 irf mac-address persistent timer

 irf auto-update enable

 undo irf link-delay

 irf member 2 priority 1

#

irf-port 2/1

 port group interface Ten-GigabitEthernet1/1/1 mode enhanced

#

 port link-mode bridge

#

 ip address 192.168.0.63 255.255.255.0

#

line vty 0 63

 user-role network-admin

 set authentication password simple 123

#

3.     Create the sn.txt file to store serial number and member ID mappings for the member devices, and then save the file to the HTTP server.

sn                         Irf group                  Irf number

210235A045B05B0004354          100                           1

210235A045B05B0004350          100                           2

 

Column	Description
sn	Serial numbers of the member devices. Each SN uniquely represents a device. The script uses these SNs to assign a unique IRF member ID to each member device and configure the member devices based on their member IDs. To obtain the serial number, use one of the following methods: ·     Examine the label on the chassis rear panel. ·     Execute the display device manuinfo command.
Irf group	IRF group number administratively used for easy identification of IRF fabric memberships. This number is not used for IRF setup. You can use any numbering plan for your management purposes.
Irf number	IRF member ID. Each device must use a unique member ID.

 

4.     Save the startup software image file (s7500EXS.ipe in this example) to the HTTP server. (Details not shown.)

You must upgrade software for consistency if the member devices use different versions of software.

5.     (Optional.) Save MD5 files for the configuration files and software image file to the HTTP server. You must save the MD5 files in the same directory as the configuration files and software image file. (Details not shown.)

Configuring the HTTP server

# Configure the HTTP server, as described in the HTTP server user guide. (Details not shown.)

Verifying the configuration

You can telnet to the IRF fabric by telnetting to any network port on one of the IRF member devices.

# Verify that you can use the configured password to Telnet to the IRF fabric.
