Technical documentation

Create a new Command Job and save it using a desired name.

The job is “empty”. It still requires something though, so it's filled with a '!'.

!

You'll see in the command parsing that no checks are needed since we expect an error as a result. (This is specifically the case for Juniper when applying a show command for which it can't find a result)

!

The static values are: Peer: and AS. Everything behind AS is ignored. The peerip variable is filled with anything up to the word AS.

Peer: <peerip:AS> AS |*|

# Some variables that are needed in the chained task and templates.
cpe_hostname := CPE-name
Vrf_id := 12345

# These variables are retrieved without additional input.
pe := <node>
PE_interface := <PE_interface@Connected_CPE>
sub_int1 := <sub_int@Connected_CPE>
sub_int2 := <Vlan_id@Connected_CPE>
cpe_ip := <Net_ip_ZV@Connected_CPE>
