# Module `netapp_ontap.resources.ip_interface`

Copyright © 2020 NetApp Inc. All rights reserved.

## Overview

The following operations are supported:

- Creation: POST network/ip/interfaces
- Collection Get: GET network/ip/interfaces
- Instance Get: GET network/ip/interfaces/{uuid}
- Instance Patch: PATCH network/ip/interfaces/{uuid}
- Instance Delete: DELETE network/ip/interfaces/{uuid}

## Retrieving network interface information

The IP interfaces GET API retrieves and displays relevant information pertaining to the interfaces configured in the cluster. The response can contain a list of multiple interfaces or a specific interface. The fields returned in the response vary for different interfaces and configurations.

## Examples

### Retrieving all interfaces in the cluster

The following example shows the list of all interfaces configured in a cluster.

    from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
    from netapp_ontap.resources import IpInterface

    with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
        print(list(IpInterface.get_collection()))

### Retrieving a specific Cluster-scoped interface

The following example shows the response when a specific Cluster-scoped interface is requested. The system returns an error when there is no interface with the requested UUID. SVM information is not returned for Cluster-scoped interfaces.

    from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
    from netapp_ontap.resources import IpInterface

    with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
        resource = IpInterface(uuid="245979de-59fc-11e8-ba55-005056b4340f")
        resource.get()
        print(resource)

## Creating IP interfaces

You can use the IP interfaces POST API to create IP interfaces as shown in the following examples.

## Examples

### Creating a Cluster-scoped IP interface using names

The following example shows the record returned after the creation of an IP interface on "e0d".

    from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
    from netapp_ontap.resources import IpInterface

    with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
        resource = IpInterface()
        resource.name = "cluster_mgmt"
        resource.ip.address = "10.63.41.6"
        resource.ip.netmask = "18"
        resource.enabled = True
        resource.scope = "cluster"
        resource.ipspace.name = "Default"
        resource.location.auto_revert = False
        resource.location.failover = "broadcast_domain_only"
        resource.location.home_port.name = "e0d"
        resource.location.home_port.node.name = "user-cluster-01-a"
        resource.service_policy.name = "default-management"
        resource.post(hydrate=True)
        print(resource)

        }
    )

### Creating a Cluster-scoped IP interface without specifying the scope parameter

The following example shows the record returned after creating an IP interface on "e0d" without specifying the scope parameter. The scope is "cluster" if an "svm" is not specified.

    from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
    from netapp_ontap.resources import IpInterface

    with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):

        }
    )

### Creating an SVM-scoped IP interface without specifying the scope parameter

The following example shows the record returned after creating an IP interface on "e0d" without specifying the scope parameter. The scope is "svm" if the "svm" field is specified.

    from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
    from netapp_ontap.resources import IpInterface

    with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
        resource = IpInterface()
        resource.name = "Data1"
        resource.ip.address = "10.234.101.116"
        resource.ip.netmask = "255.255.240.0"
        resource.enabled = True
        resource.svm.uuid = "137f3618-1e89-11e9-803e-005056a7646a"
        resource.location.auto_revert = True
        resource.location.broadcast_domain.name = "Default"
        resource.service_policy.name = "default-data-files"
        resource.post(hydrate=True)
        print(resource)

Try it out

    IpInterface(
        {
            "svm": {
                "uuid": "137f3618-1e89-11e9-803e-005056a7646a",

        }
    )

## Updating IP interfaces

You can use the IP interfaces PATCH API to update the attributes of an IP interface.

## Examples

### Updating the auto revert flag of an IP interface

The following example shows how the PATCH request changes the auto revert flag to 'false'.

    from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
    from netapp_ontap.resources import IpInterface

    with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
        resource = IpInterface(uuid="80d271c9-1f43-11e9-803e-005056a7646a")
        resource.location.auto_revert = False
        resource.patch()

### Updating the service policy of an IP interface

The following example shows how the PATCH request changes the service policy to 'default-management'.

    from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
    from netapp_ontap.resources import IpInterface

    with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
        resource = IpInterface(uuid="80d271c9-1f43-11e9-803e-005056a7646a")
        resource.service_policy.name = "default-management"
        resource.patch()

## Deleting IP interfaces

You can use the IP interfaces DELETE API to delete an IP interface in the cluster.

## Example

### Deleting an IP Interface

The following DELETE request deletes a network IP interface.

    from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
    from netapp_ontap.resources import IpInterface

    with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
        resource = IpInterface(uuid="80d271c9-1f43-11e9-803e-005056a7646a")
        resource.delete()

## Classes

`class IpInterface (*args, **kwargs)`

  Allows interaction with IpInterface objects on the host

  Initialize the instance of the resource.

  Any keyword arguments are set on the instance as properties. For example, if the class was named 'MyResource', then this statement would be true:

      MyResource(name='foo').name == 'foo'

  ## Args

  `*args`
    Each positional argument represents a parent key as used in the URL of the object. That is, each value will be used to fill in a segment of the URL which refers to some parent object. The order of these arguments must match the order they are specified in the URL, from left to right.
  `**kwargs`
    each entry will have its key set as an attribute name on the instance and its value will be the value of that attribute.

  ### Ancestors

  - Resource

  ### Static methods

  `def count_collection(*args, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> int`

    Retrieves the details of all IP interfaces.

    ### Related ONTAP Commands

    - `network interface show`

    ### Learn more

    - `DOC /network/ip/interfaces`

    Fetch a count of all objects of this type from the host.

    This calls GET on the object to determine the number of records. It is more efficient than calling get_collection() because it will not construct any objects. Query parameters can be passed in as kwargs to determine a count of objects that match some filtered criteria.

    ## Args

    `*args`
      Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to get the count of bars for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
    `connection`
      The `HostConnection` object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
    `**kwargs`
      Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host. These query parameters can affect the count. A return_records query param will be ignored.

    ## Returns

    On success, returns an integer count of the objects of this type. On failure, returns -1.

    ## Raises

    `NetAppRestError`: If the API call returned a status code >= 400, or if there is no connection available to use either passed in or on the library.

  `def delete_collection(*args, body: typing.Union = None, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> NetAppResponse`

    Deletes an IP interface.

    ### Related ONTAP commands

    - `network interface delete`

    ### Learn more

    - `DOC /network/ip/interfaces`

    Delete all objects in a collection which match the given query.

    All records on the host which match the query will be deleted.

    ## Args

    `*args`
      Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to delete the collection of bars for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
    `body`
      The body of the delete request. This could be a Resource instance or a dictionary object.
    `connection`
      The `HostConnection` object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
    `**kwargs`
      Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host. Only resources matching this query will be patched.

    ## Returns

    A `NetAppResponse` object containing the details of the HTTP response.

    ## Raises

    `NetAppRestError`: If the API call returned a status code >= 400

  `def find(*args, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> Resource`

    Retrieves the details of all IP interfaces.

    ### Related ONTAP Commands

    - `network interface show`

    ### Learn more

    - `DOC /network/ip/interfaces`

    Find an instance of an object on the host given a query.

    The host will be queried with the provided key/value pairs to find a matching resource. If 0 are found, None will be returned. If more than 1 is found, an error will be raised or returned. If there is exactly 1 matching record, then it will be returned.

    ## Args

    `*args`
      Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to find a bar for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
    `connection`
      The `HostConnection` object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
    `**kwargs`
      Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host.

    ## Returns

    A `Resource` object containing the details of the object or None if no matches were found.

    ## Raises

    `NetAppRestError`: If the API call returned more than 1 matching resource.

  `def get_collection(*args, connection: HostConnection = None, max_records: int = None, **kwargs) -> typing.Iterable`

    Retrieves the details of all IP interfaces.

    ### Related ONTAP Commands

    - `network interface show`

    ### Learn more

    - `DOC /network/ip/interfaces`

    Fetch a list of all objects of this type from the host.

    This is a lazy fetch, making API calls only as necessary when the result of this call is iterated over. For instance, if max_records is set to 5, then iterating over the collection causes an API call to be sent to the server once for every 5 records. If the client stops iterating before getting to the 6th record, then no additional API calls are made.

    ## Args

    `*args`
      Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to get the collection of bars for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
    `connection`
      The `HostConnection` object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
    `max_records`
      The maximum number of records to return per call
    `**kwargs`
      Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host.

    ## Returns

    A list of `Resource` objects

    ## Raises

    `NetAppRestError`: If there is no connection available to use either passed in or on the library. This would be not be raised when get_collection() is called, but rather when the result is iterated.

  `def patch_collection(body: dict, *args, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> NetAppResponse`

    Updates an IP interface.

      - default-management for interfaces carrying system management requests
      - default-route-announce for interfaces carrying BGP peer connections

    ### Default property values

    If not specified in POST, the following default property values are assigned: * `scope` * svm if svm parameter is specified. * cluster if svm parameter is not specified * `enabled` - true * `location.auto_revert` - true * `service_policy` * default-data-files if scope is `svm` * default-management if scope is `cluster` and IPspace is not `Cluster` * default-cluster if scope is `svm` and IPspace is `Cluster` * `failover` - Selects the least restrictive failover policy supported by all the services in the service policy.

    Send this object to the host as a creation request.

    ## Args

    `hydrate`
      If set to True, after the response is received from the call, a a GET call will be made to refresh all fields of the object.
    `poll`
      If set to True, the call will not return until the asynchronous job on the host has completed. Has no effect if the host did not return a job response.
    `poll_interval`
      If the operation returns a job, this specifies how often to query the job for updates.
    `poll_timeout`
      If the operation returns a job, this specifies how long to continue monitoring the job's status for completion.
    `**kwargs`
      Any key/value pairs passed will normally be sent as query parameters to the host. If any of these pairs are parameters that are sent as formdata then only parameters of that type will be accepted and all others will be discarded.

    ## Returns

    A `NetAppResponse` object containing the details of the HTTP response.

    ## Raises

    `NetAppRestError`: If the API call returned a status code >= 400
