I am new to netconf. I have created an xml data model as a jinja2 template. I am reading the file and attempting to render it with the variables from a dictionary. The template prints out, but the raw file without any variables populated. So I am getting the file with the dictionary keys printed in Jinja format, not the dictionary values. I just want to make sure the file is being populated with the correct information. I will worry about the connection later.
from ncclient import manager
from jinja2 import Template
# netconf Connection Manager
# netconf_connection = manager.connect(host='1.1.1.1',
# port=830,
# username='admin',
# password='admin',
# device_params={'name': 'iosxr'},
# hostkey_verify=False,
# look_for_keys=False)
#
netconf_data = {
"carrier_vlan": 101,
"customer_vlan": 1000,
"HUB_WAN1_PUBLIC_IP": "10.10.10.10",
"customer": "FirstNetConfTest",
"PRIMARY_TRANSIT": "11.11.11.11",
"neighbor_IP": "11.11.11.12",
"Location": "LAX"
}
netconf_file = open('templates/new_config.j2').read()
netconf_template = Template(netconf_file)
netconf_payload = netconf_template.render(netconf_data)
print(netconf_payload)
