Support for switchport mode tool

[aletessier]

Would it be possible to add support for mode tool switchport configuration?

Hi @aletessier - are you simply looking for mode tool on an interface or do you really need a complete tapAgg API.

Hi @phil-arista
Yes i need a complete tapAgg API. (tool group set grpname, tool dot1q remove, mode tap, etc..)

Hi,
any news on this issue?
Is it possible via the eAPI to modify tool switchport configuration?

The pyeapi library allows you do any configuration your user is authorized to do, even if there isn't a specific API written for it yet. You just have to know the exact syntax. Something like the following would work for setting the switch to tap agg mode then setting a tool port and tap port:
(this assumes you have a working config file setup already)

import pyeapi

# create a node object by specifying the node to work with
node = pyeapi.connect_to('veos01')

# use the config method to  enable tap agg mode (note this will likely be a disruptive change):
node.config(['tap aggregation', 'mode exclusive'])
[{}, {}]

# enable tap port
node.config(['interface Ethernet1', 'switchport tap default group veos1'])
[{}, {}]

#enable tool port
node.config(['interface Ethernet2', 'switchport tool group veos1'])
[{}, {}]
