Micetro is an extremely powerful orchestration tool. Providing a single GUI/API across disparate DNS & DHCP systems, together with discovery and IPAM. Giving that single pane of glass view into the entire network.

This works great for centralising administration, audit logging plus wrapping around Role Based Access even for DNS and DHCP platforms that don’t natively support this.

 

What isn’t necessarily fully appreciated (though I know some of our customers are doing this!) is how you can leverage the Micetro API, together with the DDI data Micetro has visibility into to help streamline Network provisioning.

 

In order to highlight this, I’ve put together some sample Python code, built around the Micetro API to automate the provisioning of network interfaces on some VyOS devices.

[ VyOS (https://vyos.io ) is an open source router/firewall. The command syntax is very similar to Junos OS]

 

Although this example is written for VyOS I’ve tried to make the code easy to adapt for other platforms.

I hope you find this useful… and I’d welcome any feedback
