I can't seem to find an API that exposes the firmware revision of the RLM card, it must be there somewhere....?!
Hi Vishal,
No, that api relates to the system firmware, what I'm after if the rlm card's firmware revision (the management port).
For example the output from a "rlm status" command through an ssh session on the filer shows the following:
Remote LAN Module Status: Online
Part Number: 110-00057
Revision: F0
Serial Number: 491341
Firmware Version: 4.0
Mgmt MAC Address: 00:A0:98:11:99:D6
Ethernet Link: up
Using DHCP: no
IP Address: 10.26.38.154
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 10.26.38.254
Any ideas which API can produce this output?
Thanks
Dominic
I did some search in the API, was unable to find any API.
You could use the system-cli API to get the output of your CLI in a ZAPI. The API is unsupported but.
This is how you run it
<system-cli><args><arg>rlm</arg><arg>status</arg></args></system-cli>
Thanks for your help Vishal, in the end I have just loaded the rlm status output into an array using powershell and referenced the element for the firmware version. This gets me what I need for the time being.
I would prefer to be accessing this info with a proper API call through a powershell cmdlet. Would you know if I could feed this back somewhere as an addition to a wishlist for pipeline work?
Thanks
Dominic
you could file a RFE for this. But I am not fully sure, if the ZAPI is missing.
There doesn't appear to be an API for getting the RLM version. As Vishal pointed out, system-cli is an unsupported API. However, sending CLI commands via SSH is fully supported.
Although not as good as an actual API for RLM details, the forthcoming Toolkit 1.3 will do this:
PS C:\> Invoke-NaSsh rlm status
Remote LAN Module Status: Online
Part Number: 110-00057
Revision: D0
Serial Number: 391066
Firmware Version: 1.3
Mgmt MAC Address: 00:A0:98:06:E6:CA
Ethernet Link: down
Using DHCP: no
IPv4 configuration:
IP Address: 192.168.33.107
Netmask: 255.255.248.0
Gateway: 192.168.32.254
1.3 release date is "soon" but not yet finalized, so no use asking!
Hi Clinton,
That is useful info, thanks.
The API is not available. We just opend a RFE! We hope to get the RLM API supported soon, but we have no feedback at the moment. regards Maurice
Thanks for filing that, appreciate it.
I'll keep an eye out, hopefully it will get added as I'm sure there are lots of people that will want this eventually.
