unicon.bases.linux.connection module

Module:

unicon.bases.linux.connection

Authors:

ATS TEAM (ats-dev@cisco.com, CSG( STEP) - India)

Description:

Defines the Connection Base classes for Linux Servers. It defines the work flow of unicon connection and services initialization

class unicon.bases.linux.connection.BaseLinuxConnection(*args, os=None, platform=None, model=None, chassis_type=None, **kwargs)

Bases: unicon.bases.connection.Connection

Base class for linux connections

This does the following

  1. Spawns a connection to the device

  2. Creates a State Machine instance for this device

  3. Provides method to connect, initialize the devices

    and perform services

Initializes SingleRP connection

chassis_type = None
property connection_type

Returns Linux

disconnect()

provides mechanism to disconnect to the device by duck typing connection provider’s disconnect method

property hostname

Returns this connection’s hostname

property is_ha

Attribute to check if this is a HA connection

os = None
platform = None
setup_connection()

Creates a Session and spawns a connection

unicon.bases.linux.connection_provider module

Module:

unicon.bases.linux.connection_provider

Author:

ATS Team (ats-dev@cisco.com)

Description:

The connection class for any platform depends on connection provider class for providing two essential methods, namely, connect and disconnect. As the name suggests their role is to let the application connect and disconnect to the linux box.

Dependencies:

connection providers are passed the whole connection object. By the time it is instantiated, it is also imperative that, our connection class contains the following objects:

* spawn objects are created.
* state machine objects are created.

It is also expected that all the other vital attributes are present like settings, logs etc.

Exceptions:

All the classes in this module should raise ConnectionError, in case exceptions are caught.

Example

Examples are provided in class documentation.

class unicon.bases.linux.connection_provider.BaseLinuxConnectionProvider(connection)

Bases: object

Connection provider for Linux box

Initializes

connect()

Performs the device connection and initialization

disconnect()

Disconnect from the device

establish_connection()

Reads the device state and brings it to the right state

execute_init_commands()
get_connection_dialog()

Creates and returns Dialog, for processing device connection

By default connection provided uses state machine’s dialog for any connection processing. If any additional dialog required has to be updated here

init_handle()

Executes the init commands on the device after bringing to enable state

set_init_commands()

unicon.bases.linux.services module

Module:

unicon.bases.service.services

Authors:

ATS TEAM (ats-dev@cisco.com, CSG( STEP) - India)

Description:

Contains service base classes related to routers

class unicon.bases.linux.services.BaseService(connection, context, **kwargs)

Bases: object

Base class for all linux services.

Parameters

  • connection – Device connection object

  • context – connection context

call_service(*args, **kwargs)

Actual services implementation code

get_service_result()

Common result procedure for all Services

classmethod platform_check(*args, **kwargs)

Verifies whether the service is applicable for a given platform

Returns

If the service is applicable for a given platform False: If service is not applicable for the given platform

Return type

True

post_service(*args, **kwargs)

Common post_service procedure for all Services

pre_service(*args, **kwargs)

Common pre_service procedure for all Services
