–> Job Management –> Lists) allows the creation, editing, importing and exporting of lists to provide external lists of data to Perl script variables, CCS script variables and configuration template variables.
Lists are handy for dynamically looking up values to variables in Perl and CCS scripts. CCS and Perl can refer to/ look up values from lists during script execution. The lookup call enables a simple pass/fail test to detect the presence or absence of a value in a list. The call accepts the parameter list name, key column, key value, value column and a default. All values may be static or variable-based.
Lists are named CSV files imported into NetMRI. The most efficient way to use Lists is through importing of a CSV file. You can add new records to any list or create a new list entirely within NetMRI.) An advantage of using external lists, and of importing lists from .CSV files, is that NetMRI imports the column headers from .CSV files. These column headers then appear in the list table in NetMRI. Users can edit the headers inside the Lists page by right-clicking any column header and choosing Edit Column.
To import a list into the NetMRI Lists page, do the following:
...
Note: The Vendor Model Key must be named identically to the config template referenced by the system. For example, the Config Template cisco_catalyst295024 matches the corresponding Vendor Model Key field in the list.
...
The TAE BMP Switch Model Interface Defs list maps the device model to the ports available on that type of device. The Model column is the name of the device model as reported by the device. The same model name is also used to select the configuration template to be used for the device.
3. In the TAE BMP Site Settings list: this list defines default configurations of switch ports. When you have a standard configuration for (example) Sales Branches, you set that configuration once in this list. Define any new list records you need for new site settings. New table rows may be added for this data set.
Among other settings, ports are assigned to VLANs in this list. Other vital settings include the Site Name, domain name, Syslog and NTP server and the site code. You also use the {} brackets for port ranges in this table. Click Save when done with changes.
