script that finds the cdp n and uses that outcome as the interface description

[#1]

Dear All,

I have a script that finds the cdp n and uses that outcome as the interface description.
PS: I found this script on github

This script works well, a bit to well. I only want to change the interfaces of the Cisco swicthes as a neighbor not Cisco phones, but I can live with that.

The issue is when I run the script all is well but if the day after someone moves a cable (yes this happens) and I re run the script than I will have 2 interfaces pointing to a neighborg swicth, but only 1 is correct.

What is the easiest way to solve this? This is a css script. 

Can I create a script(action) that searches for a part of the description and if that descriptions doesn't have a neighbor anymore, then delete the description on that port? I understand that I will have to run the script atleast Once before this new action will apply.

Or how would you solve this?

Can you post the output of your "show cdp neighbor detail"?

Then we can modify the script

[#4 · Accepted solution]

The cool part is you just need to tweak a few lines

Add a new Trigger Variable:

$Plat string

Modify the Tigger Template

Platform: [[$Plat]]

Trigger-Commands: { $UpdateMade eq "no" and $Plat not like /Cisco IP Phone/}

Now we modify Trigger-Commands:{$Plat not like /Cisco IP Phone/}

When you are done, do you mind posting it to GitHub and a link to it here?

Thanks

I adjusted the script, but I have an issue now when the first device it sees is a phone, the script will stopand won't check the other devices.

Now we modify Trigger-Commands:{$Plat not like /Cisco IP Phone/ and $Plat not like /Meraki MR/ }

I assume I will need to add this part after the command triggers?

Like this?:

Trigger-Commands: { $UpdateMade eq "no" and $Plat not like /Cisco IP Phone/ and $Plat not like /Meraki MR/ }

config t

Trigger-Commands:{$Plat not like /Cisco IP Phone/ and $Plat not like /Meraki MR/ }

Trigger-Commands:
interface $Local_Int
Description Connection to $Neigh_Name on Interface $Neigh_IntName
SET: $UpdateMade = "yes"

Try this

Trigger-Commands: { $UpdateMade eq "no" and $Plat not like /Cisco IP Phone/ or $Plat not like /Meraki MR/ }
config t
SET: $UpdateMade = "yes"

Trigger-Commands:{ $UpdateMade eq "yes" and $Plat not like /Cisco IP Phone/ or $Plat not like /Meraki MR/ }
interface $Local_Int
Description Connection to $Neigh_Name on Interface $Neigh_IntName

I would combine the two not like

Trigger-Commands: { $UpdateMade eq "no" and $Plat not like /Cisco IP Phone|Meraki MR/ }
config t
SET: $UpdateMade = "yes"

Trigger-Commands:{ $UpdateMade eq "yes" and $Plat not like /Cisco IP Phone|Meraki MR/ }
interface $Local_Int
Description Connection to $Neigh_Name on Interface $Neigh_IntName

Thank you. This works!
