TEMPLATE USING

cisco_wlc_ssh*

SAMPLE COMMAND OUTPUT

SUMMARY

Other systems are jumping in and working in conjunction with NTC templates. Specifically Netmiko integration in this issue. The name for wireless is typically cisco_wlc in Netmiko, which then does not find an NTC template in the home directory. As a work around the device_type of cisco_wlc_ssh does work, but seems a little out of the ordinary to use with Netmiko since it is SSH by using it.

Would like to remove the _ssh suffix on the cisco_wlc_ssh names to assist with this. Are there other non-ssh templates for this?

I need to think more about potential impact on others projects that have this as a dependency, but I created this TODO when I upgraded the testing

ntc-templates/tests/test_testcases_exists.py

I just spotted this as well as I was running the tests for PR #418 . The rules of the index file specifically state the OS need to be a netmiko OS type, which is cisco_wlan_ssh, so I think it would need to be changed there first.

I wasn't raising that PR for this issue, but in changing the way the command and OS is compared, the test failed because the list of accepted types in the test was wrong (missing the _ssh). If it gets removed as part of an update to netmiko, that is fine, so long as the test here is also updated to reflect the change.

Now that Cisco's recent WLCs run IOS-XE this may not be worth changing in both netmiko or ntc-templates projects.

For the common show commands the IOS-XE WLCs can utilize the normal cisco_ios templates.
In practice the output for wireless related commands can be different than the AireOS WLCs.
