Overview

This API can be used to get information about the ethernet switches used for cluster and/or storage networks. This API support GET and PATCH calls. The GET operation returns a list of discovered switches with status and configuration information. The PATCH can be used to modify state of the switch.

Examples

Retrieving the ethernet switches for a cluster

The following example retrieves the ONTAP switches from the cluster. Note that if the fields=* parameter is not specified, the fields snmp.version, snmp.credential, model, sw-version, reason, version-source, monitoring.enable, monitoring.subsystem.type and monitoring.subsystem.poll_interval are not returned. Filters can be added on the fields to limit the results.

# The call:
curl -X GET "https://<mgmt-ip>/api/network/ethernet/switches?return_records=true" -H  "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/hal+json"

Retrieving an ethernet switch for a cluster

The following example retrieves a single switch by the switchname using the API.

# The API:
GET /network/ethernet/switches{name}

# The call:
curl -X GET "https://<mgmt-ip>/api/network/ethernet/switches/RTP-SS02-510R10(FOC22131U6T?return_records=true" -H  "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/hal+json"

# The response:
{
"name": "RTP-SS02-510R10(FOC22131U6T)",
"address": "172.26.207.66",
"discovered": true,
"model": "NX3232C",
"monitoring": {
  "monitored": true,
  "reason": "None"
},
"network": "storage",
"serial_number": "FOC22131U6T",
"snmp": {
  "version": "snmpv2c",
  "user": "cshm1!"
},
"version": "Cisco Nexus Operating System (NX-OS) Software, Version 9.3(3)",

  "self": {
    "href": "/api/network/ethernet/switches/RTP-SS02-510R10(FOC22131U6T)"
  }
}
}

Configuring a switch

The following example configures SNMP credential and version on a switch.

# The API:
PATCH /network/ethernet/switches{name}

# The call:
curl -X PATCH "https://<mgmt-ip>/api/network/ethernet/switches/sconqa-corduroyl-03" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/hal+json" -d "{ \"snmp\": { \"version\": \"snmpv2c\", \"user\": \"cshm1!\"}}"

# The response:
{}
