This script will connect to a provided list of APIC controllers and pull information about the affected objects of the FN-72145.

To run the script just make sure that you have installed the required libraries:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

This script only works with Python 3.7 and above.

The list of APIC controllers is provided in the credentials.py file:

For a single APIC:

APICS = ['1.1.1.1']

For more than one APIC:

APICS = ['1.1.1.1', '2.2.2.2', '3.3.3.3']

Username and password information is also provided in the credentials.py file. Remember that all the APICs should have the same username and password.

For the FN-72145 it is redundant to query more than 1 APIC of the same fabric since they will provide the same information.

After querying the APICs, the script will gather connectivity information from the ACI switches and will SSH to the affected switches to verify the Power_On_Hours of each switch.

All the gathered information will be dumped in a fn72145_check.log file.

Binary files have been provided in the Binaries folder. These files will be helpful for clients who cannot run python scripts in their corporate computers.

The usage of these binaries are a little bit different. For the Windows binary (fn72145.exe) the user needs only to double-click on the binary file. A series of prompts will require the user to enter some information. After providing all the information, the log file will be created with the data gathered from a single ACI fabric. For multiple fabrics, the binary can be run as many times as needed.

Feel free to collaborate, both by requesting new features/changes to the script or by branching the project and adding changes and raising a pull request.
