There’s no easy way to quickly check interface MTUs throughout the network and spot potential mismatches. Therefore having a column for MTU in Interface Report would greatly help with network audits.

Hi,

 

We cannot edit the build-in inventory reports and I have asked our development team to add the MTU if possible and will keep posted on this thread once i hear from development team

However – we can achieve this using two ways

  1. Create a Qapp and run it manually whenever required or schedule a inventory report by calling this Qapp in new interface inventory report.
  2. Create a NI and NIC to export all the interface MTU – we can run it whenever required.

Option1

To Create a Qapp and run it manually whenever required

Create a qapp to as shown below to pull all the necessary fields from interface and execute CLI on all devices at one go or execute the qapp on required devices

 

To schedule an inventory report by calling this Qapp in new interface inventory report

  1. Click on “Go To Manage Reports page” and
  2. create new inventory report
  3. Add the required devices or all
  4. Add the Qapp which we create above and schedule the time interval to run the inventory as per requirement

 

Option2

Create a NI and NIC to export all the interface MTU – we can run it whenever required

Create a NI to parse Interface, MTU

 

Create a diagnosis to export the details along with device hostname as shown below

 

We can add all the required fields which we need to shown in CSV report

Create a NIC to replicate above NI to whole of environment devices using below steps

  1. Input Devices: Device list on which we intend to get interface MTU
  2. Seed NI: We need to add the NI which we created for Interface MTU.
  3. Seed Logics: Device Level Logic.
  4. Device Classifiers – Cisco Router, Cisco switch (can add all the required vendors)
  5. Group Eigen Value – Hostname
  6. Target Seed – Ture
  7. Member NI – We will be able to create member NIs and replicate the Interface MTU from Seed NI to all the list of devices in the environment

Once the Member Nis are created and Run Network Intent – we can export individual device report or export all by clicking on “Export CSV report”

 

Hope this answered your question. Please raise a support case for any further assistance, we will happy to assist you .
