In the last months I have been trying to practice the knowledge from CCNA DevNet and managed to wrote very basic scripts using API.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CML is a simulation solution from Cisco that actually works (you have to pay and need hardware). There are nice docs out there:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CML sandbox<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n CML Starting guide + API examples<\/a> (this saved me)<\/p>\n\n\n\n CML simulation lifecycle example<\/a> (havent tried yet)<\/p>\n\n\n\n CML<\/a>: I actually struggled in this one regarding how to authenticate….. Checking some pages I worked out. I was trying to use the theory from DevNet but no joy. The idea is to restore a lab after you have made many changes. The script log into CML, delete the lab and restore with a provided backup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some docs for vsphere api:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vsphere create session<\/a>: (quite useful)<\/p>\n\n\n\n vcenter REST API authentication<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n vcenter API with Postman<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Vsphere postman examples<\/a> (need to take a look)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vsphere<\/a>: This is even simpler…. at least in this one I didnt struggle with the auth as the documentation was quite clear. But the original goal of restore a VM from a snapshot looks like is not available via API.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the last months I have been trying to practice the knowledge from CCNA DevNet and managed to wrote very basic scripts using API.
