mod_acl

Installation

• Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/bjames/mod_acl
• Initialize a new python virtual environment python -m virtualenv venv
• Install the required python modules ./venv/bin/python -m pip -r requirements.txt

Usage

• Create a new YAML file or modify the provided YAML file
• device_list entries should have a hostname and device_type (either cisco_ios or cisco_nxos)

    - hostname: 172.16.12.117
      device_type: cisco_ios
    - hostname: 172.16.12.116
      device_type: cisco_nxos

• acl_name should refer to an ACL that already exists
  • Creating new ACLs isn't currently supported, but will be added when needed
• if append is set to True, then the lines are added to the ACL. Otherwise the ACL is replaced
  • Line numbers can be specified in either instance, but should only be necessary when appending
  • When possible append False is preferred as this enforces consistancy
• Note on ACL lines the pipe prior to the list of ACEs must be present for the YAML to be parsed correctly
• Run the script with ./venv/bin/python mod_acl.py mod_acl.yml
