For those of you interested in the world of network disaggregation, the LiveLesson Dinesh Dutt and I recorded back in January is up on Safari Books Online as a “rough cut.” I’m not entirely certain when the official release will be available, but the rough cut versions are usually pretty good anyway. The one humorous mistake I see on the current page is the topic is listed as “travel.” Well, I do travel a lot, but I’ve never made a video on travel.

Using network CLI for automation has always been fragile. But it keeps surprising me with the way it breaks. This time, it was a combination of Ansible, Arista, replace: config
and terminal length
used as a config command.
I often hang out in the NTC Slack channel. A user reported they were having a problem with Ansible and EOS. Basic changes worked, but when they used eos_config with the replace: config
option, it just timed out. We knew basic authentication & connectivity was fine, it had to be something else.
But it made no sense, because these modules are widely used. What’s going on?
Some commands produce more than one screen’s worth of output - for example, show run
can be hundreds of lines long. Most screens don’t have hundreds of lines, so pagination is used. The network Continue reading

One of the toughest tasks faced by networking engineers attending our Building Network Automation Solutions course is designing a data model describing network infrastructure or services. They usually think in terms of individual devices (nodes) resulting in tons of duplicated data.
I always point that out when reviewing their solutions and suggest how to minimize or eliminate duplicate data. Not surprisingly, doing that is hard, and one of the attendees started wondering whether the extra effort makes sense:

Minipack is an open, modular super spine switch and is the most recent addition to the industry’s open modular switches. Paired with the flexibility and cost benefits of Cumulus Linux OS, the platform is ideal for deploying the next generation of high-capacity data center fabrics. Based on Broadcom’s StrataXGS Tomahawk III Switch Series, Minipack is more powerful than other chassis while occupying a smaller footprint.
Together, Cumulus Networks and Edgecore Networks are bringing the hyperscale that was once only available to the largest enterprises to an entirely new segment of the market with Minipack.
Listen to Brian Sullivan, Sr Director of Product Management at Cumulus Networks and Michael Lane, VP of Business Development at Edgecore Networks as they discuss the recently launched Minipack, open, modular switch.
