modifyNetworkInterfaces

Modify one or more physical and logical interface (except port-channel) objects. Incase the interface is a kind of IpNetworkInterface then the secondary and helper IP address collection will be updated. If the interface is a mode change (say switched to routed or visa-versa), need to set the AbstractNetworkElement reference.

Following associations will be updated:

•Port Setting

Remaining associations will be take from the existing object in the server in case of modification. If the change is for a port mode (say switched to routed or visa-versa) as well, then what every associations are applicable for both the modes will be moved to new object based on the device platform.

ValidationException is thrown if any of the following situations occurs:

•If the modifiedNetworkInterfaceCol is null or the collection is empty.

•If the modifiedNetworkInterfaceCol contains one or more null element, or the collection contains objects that are not of type NetworkInterface.

•If the modifiedNetworkInterfaceCol contains one or more NetworkInterface objects without AbstractNetworkElement association.

•If the modifiedNetworkInterfaceCol contains objects that are of type SwitchedEtherChannelNetworkInterface or RoutedEtherChannelNetworkInterface. Port-Channels are not supported in this API.

•If the configured IP address (Ipv4AddressPrefix) overlaps with primary or secondary IP address of any other Layer 3 interfaces existing in the device.

•The following ValidationException situations occurs incase modified interface being RoutedSubNetworkInterface

–If IP address (Ipv4AddressPrefix) being configured to the interface without creating a encapsulation VLAN (VLAN) association.

–If the configured encapsulation VLAN (VLAN) is not available or already in use by any other interfaces.

–If encapsulation type (SubInterfaceEncapsulationType) is configured without specifying encapsulation VLAN.

PropertiesException is thrown if any of the following situations occurs:

•In the modifiedNetworkInterfaceCol collection, if any of the NetworkInterface attribute is not valid.

Example:

•Configuring attribute description with a String of length more than 240 will cause a PropertiesException, because description of an interface can only be up to a maximum of 240 characters.

Parameters

opContext—Operational context

modifiedNetworkInterfaceCol—

Return Value

List of instance name Id of create/modified network interfaces

modifyPortModeToRouted

Modify the port mode from switched to routed for a given network interface. On the server, when this method is called all the Layer2 associations will be cleared/retained base on the device platform. Remaining associations will be re-associated to the new object. All attributes present for the old object will be reassigned to the new object.

ValidationException is thrown if any of the following situations occurs:

•If switchedInterfaceNameIdCol collection is null or it is empty.

•If switchedInterfaceNameIdCol collection contains an object that is not of type SwitchedNetworkInterface InstanceName id.

•If switchedInterfaceNameIdCol collection contains a SwitchedNetworkInterface that does not exist in the database.

Parameters

opContext—Operational context

switchedInterfaceNameIdCol—List of instance name Ids of switched ports

Return Value

List of newly create routed ports

modifyPortModeToSwitched

Modify the port mode from routed to switched for a given network interface. On the server, when this method is called all the Layer 3 associations will be cleared/retained base on the device platform. Remaining associations will be re-associated to the new object. All attributes present for the old object will be reassigned to the new object.

ValidationException is thrown if any of the following situations occurs:

•If routedInterfaceNameIdCol collection is null or it is empty.

•If routedInterfaceNameIdCol collection contains an object that is not of type RoutedNetworkInterface InstanceName id.

•If routedInterfaceNameIdCol collection contains a RoutedNetworkInterface that does not exist in the database.

Parameters

opContext—Operational context

routedInterfaceNameIdCol—List of instance name Ids of routed ports

switchPortMode—Switchport mode

trunkMode—Trunk port mode. Based on this mode, trunk encapsulation and non-negotiate will be set to corresponding defaults. If the trunk mode is static, change the encapsulation to dot1q and non-negotiation to true

Return Value

List of newly create switched ports

modifyRoutedSubNetworkInterfaces

Modify one or more existing routed sub-interface objects.

Following associations will be updated:

•Port Setting

•Encapsulation VLAN

ValidationException is thrown if any of the following situations occurs:

•If the modifiedRoutedSubNetworkInfs is null or the collection is empty.

•If the modifiedRoutedSubNetworkInfs contains one or more null element, or the collection contains objects that are not of type RoutedSubNetworkInterface.

•If IP address (Ipv4AddressPrefix) being configured to the interface without creating a encapsulation VLAN (VLAN) association

•If the configured IP address (Ipv4AddressPrefix) overlaps with primary or secondary IP address of any other Layer 3 interfaces existing in the device.

•If the configured encapsulation VLAN (VLAN) is not available or already in use by any other interfaces.

•If encapsulation type (SubInterfaceEncapsulationType) is configured without specifying encapsulation VLAN.

PropertiesException is thrown if any of the following situations occurs:

•In the subInfs collection, if any of the RoutedSubNetworkInterface attribute is not valid.

Example:

•Configuring attribute description with a String of length more than 240 will cause an PropertiesException, because description of an interface can only be up to a maximum of 240 characters.

Parameters

opContext—Operational context

modifiedRoutedSubNetworkInfs—modified list of RoutedSubNetworkInterface objects.

Return Value

void

modifySwitchPortMode

Modify the switch port mode for a given list of switch ports. This will enable to specify the new switch port mode (e.g., access, trunk, etc.) and trunk mode.

This API will not re-create a new instance name id. It will just apply the new attributes specified to the existing objects.

Trunk mode can be specified if the port mode is getting changed to Trunk mode. If the trunk mode is not specified, default trunk mode will be change to static mode. Trunk mode will be ignore if the port mode is getting changes to any mode other than trunk.

ValidationException is thrown if any of the following situations occurs:

•If switchedInterfaceNameIdCol collection is null or it is empty.

•If switchedInterfaceNameIdCol collection contains an object that is not of type SwitchedNetworkInterface InstanceName id.

•If switchedInterfaceNameIdCol collection contains a SwitchedNetworkInterface that does not exist in the database.

Parameters

opContext—Operational context

switchedInterfaceNameIdCol—List of instance name Ids of routed ports

switchPortMode—New switchport mode

trunkMode—Trunk port mode. This is applicable only if the mode is changed to trunk mode. Based on this mode set, trunk encapsulation and non-negotiate will be set to corresponding defaults. If the trunk mode is static, change the encapsulation to dot1q (if supported by the interface) and non-negotiation to true. Similarly if the trunk mode is changes to dynamic auto/desirable, non-negotiation will be set to false and encapsulation will be set to negotiate (if supported by the interface).

Return Value

void
