ACI で非表示ポリシーを GUI 上に表示する

以前に ACI で「__ui」という設定名だと GUI には表示されない?? というメモを書きました。 このメモに書いた点を含みますが、__ui_ で始まる名前のポリシーは以下のように特別な特徴を持ちます。

  • GUI
  • GUI 上には表示されない
  • 設定を変更することで GUI 上に表示することも可能
  • 但し、GUI 上からは削除/変更出来ない
  • CLI
  • CLI 上には表示される
  • 但し ? で表示するヘルプ (候補) には表示されない
  • CLI 上からは削除/変更出来る

ThousandEyes の Web テストの User-Agent は公式ドキュメントが間違っている

ThousandEyes の Default User-Agent Strings によると HTTP Server Test の場合、User-Agent は User-Agent: curl/7.51.0-DEV だと記載されています。

file

ですが、実際にパケットをキャプチャすると下記になっています。

  • User-Agent: curl になっている (公式ドキュメントと異なる)
  • X-ThousandEyes-Agent: yes も付与される

デフォルト User-Agent のキャプチャ結果

tshark で実際にキャプチャした出力例は以下の通りです。 User-Agent: curl 及び X-ThousandEyes-Agent: yes になっていることが分かります。

ACI 6.x 系ではオンライン・ヘルプへのリンクが存在しない？

ACI 5.x 系までは各画面にクエスチョンマークがあり、それをクリックすることでオンライン・ヘルプを参照することが出来ました。 ACI 6.x ではこれが廃止されてしまったようで、少なくても現時点で ACI 6.x 系 唯一のリリースである 6.0(1g) では以下のようにクエスチョン・マークがありません。 正確には画面右上にクエスチョン・マークがあるのですが、これをクリックすると cisco.com や ciscolive.com へのドキュメントリンクとなっており、従来のようなオンライン・ヘルプへのリンクは存在しないようです。

ThousandEyes でダッシュボードをコピーする

ThousandEyes では監視している情報の一覧を "ダッシュボード" という単位でまとめ、表示することが出来ます。 ダッシュボードは複数作成することが出来ますので、用途に応じて複数のダッシュボードを作成すると使いやすくなります。 ダッシュボードを複数作成する際、「新たにゼロから作成する」のでは無く、「既存のダッシュボードをベースに (流用し) 作成したい」場合はダッシュボードを複製することが出来ます。 ダッシュボードの複製手順は公式ドキュメントの Customizing Your Dashboard にかかれていますが、今回は具体的な手順をメモしておきます。

Terraform で IOS-XE を設定する

Story DeWeese さんの記事ですが、しばらく前に Automation with Any Tooling on Any Interface が公開されています。

Story DeWeese さんは YouTube でも Cisco IOS XE Terraform provider introduction and demo という「Terraform で IOS-XE を操作する」という動画を公開してくださっています。

IOS-XE 用の Provider は Cisco IOS XE Provider で公開されています。 今回はこの Provider の基本的な使い方をメモしておきます。 Terraform は 1.2.7 を利用しました。
