Port Method for REST API (9921)

Hi !

NETCON - Flo Networks
Ticket: 9921

Post Title: 

Port Method for REST API 

Feature Request Summary: 

Creation of REST API methods to allow the creation of new ports on equipment and the assignment of a point to the new port.

Functional Area / Module: 

REST API

Description/Use Cases: 

Through a REST API call, it should be possible to:

a. Create new ports or points on the equipment.
b. Assign a point to a new port.

What we are looking for is a mechanism that allows us to create ports with connection points via API. In the current ConnectMaster schema, connection points depend on the optical modules inserted into the assembly, but this becomes an inflexible model when ConnectMaster is no longer the source of truth for the ports.

Some additional notes:

• Port names should be flexible and match the actual port name on the equipment. For example: eth-0, 100GbE0/1, fastethernet 0/0/1, Tunnel 101, etc.
• Creating, modifying, and deleting ports should be possible through an API call, ideally REST-based, from a third-party system.

• The created ports should include connection points that can be used to connect fibers/physical paths.
  
   

  

Business impact of limitation or missing of the feature:

This functionality is very important for us to be able to integrate ConnectMaster with other systems.

NETCON
