Application Centric Infrastructure Main Configuration Elements

ACI Toolkit

NX-OS like

CLI Custom

Python Scripts

ACI toolkit

• Simple toolkit built on top of APIC API

• Scripts built with the toolkit are easy to read

• Not full functionality, most common

• Focused primarily on configuration

• Preserves the ACI basic concepts

APIC

Scripts • Scripts are very easy to develop and read

CLI Application

• NX-OS like CLI written entirely in Python

• Sits on top of toolkit

• Familiar interface to traditional network folks

• More of an operational focus

• show epg

• shutdown / no shutdown on an interface

Cableplan Application

• Allows programmer to easily import existing cable plans from:

• XML Files

• Currently running from APIC

• Export previous imported plans and compare

• Advanced use can build cable plan XML file, query, and modify cable plan

ACI Endpoint Tracker Application

• Tracks all attachment, detachment, movement of Endpoints in ACI fabric

• Stores activity in open source MySQL Database, allowing query capabilities

• Provides foundation for visualization and query tools

• Some questions that could be solved:

• What are all the Endpoints on network?

• Where is a specific Endpoint?

• What was connected last Thursday between 3:30am and 4:00am?

• What is the history of a given Endpoint?

Configuration & rollback

• Version control on top of APIC

• Snapshot configuration in Git repository

• Versions based on timestamps

• Granularity

• Per Tenant

• Fabric (VPC policies, etc.)

• Infrastructure

• Leverage Git diff tools between versions

• Rollback

• Push a version back to the APIC

• Leverage APIC REST API resolution
