Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth.

Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen.

She packed her seven versalia, put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way. When she reached the first hills of the Italic Mountains, she had a last view back on the skyline of her hometown Bookmarksgrove, the headline of Alphabet Village and the subline of her own road, the Line Lane. Pityful a rethoric question ran over her cheek, then Continue reading

Deploying Code to Devices Through your NMS

 
 

note: It’s come to my attention that WordPress is truncating some of my posts so that the right hand side is blocked by the side bar. My apologies for the this. I’ll get it fixed ( or more likely move to GH pages ) as quickly as possible. Thanks for your patience

If you’re luck enough to have an NMS as powerful as HPE IMC then you already have a very capable system which has a ton of APIs that you probably didn’t even know about. IMC isn’t the only NMS which has APIs these days, but it’s the one we’re going to be looking at here.

We’ve spent the last few posts ( here, here, and here running through creating some network configurations through the Jinja2 templating language.
