The inventory file is a CSV file that MUST contain at a minimum two columns:
host and os_name, for example:
Example:
host,os_name
switch1,ios
switch2,nxos
fw1,asa
NOTE: The values of os_name are entirely up to you as you will define OS
specifications in the configuration file. The netcfgbu tool does
not include any hardcoded OS names.
If your host names cannot be resolved via DNS, then you MUST include the ipaddr column, for example:
Example:
host,os_name,ipaddr
switch1,ios,10.1.123.1
switch2,nxos,10.1.123.2
fw1,asa,10.1.123.254
If you need to provide host specific credentials, then you can add the columns username and password.
Both of these columns support the use of environment variables.
Example:
host,os_name,ipaddr,username,password
switch1,ios,10.1.123.1
switch2,nxos,10.1.123.2
fw1,asa,10.1.123.254,SecOpsAdmin,$SECOPS_PASSWORD
