Get/Create/Update Switch Ports

To get any device ports we can use the following API call:

curl -s -k -X GET -u 'u:p' 'https://D42-IP/api/1.0/switchports/?switch_id=device_id' --insecure

Where

switch_id can be any device ID on the system

To check if the port has any connectivity to other port on the system we can use the following parameter:

curl -s -k -X GET -u 'admin:adm!nd42' 'https://D42-IP/api/1.0/switchports/?switch_id=device_id&include_cols=port,is_connected' --insecure

To check all available parameters you can refer to this link:

To change the port type

curl -X POST -d 'port=FastEthernet0&switch=CARVZN&port_type=logical'  -u 'u:p' 'https://D42-IP/api/1.0/switchports/' --insecure

To rename the port

curl -X POST -d 'port=FastEthernet0&switch=CARVZN&new_port=FastEthernet0-0'  -u 'u:p' 'https://D42-IP/api/1.0/switchports/' --insecure 

for renaming we use "new_port" parameter

To create a port

curl -X POST -d 'port=FastEthernet0-1&switch=CARVZN'  -u 'u:p' 'https://D42-IP/api/1.0/switchports/' --insecure

To create a child port

curl -s -k -X POST -u 'u:p' -d 'port=FastEthernet01&parent_port=FastEthernet0-1&parent_port_device=CARVZN' 'https://D42-IP/api/1.0/switchports/' --insecure | jq

here we used "parent_port" parameter to indicate the parent port for which we need to create the child port.
