Vlan Information

Below is documented how a driver should set information about device vlans, and where it shows.

This typically is loaded when the driver’s get_my_basic_info() function is called. I.e. This is when a driver is called from the view.py URL handling functions.

The Vlan() class is used to store interface information. See the definition in openl2m/switches/connect/classes.py

Storing Vlan Objects

Connector().vlans is a dictionary that stores the Vlans on a device. The key (index) is an integer (int) representing the numeric vlan ID. Items are Vlan() class instances.

The most important attributes of a Vlan() are the vlan.id, and vlan.name

Where It Shows

Vlans are used in a number of places:

This shows under the ‘Interfaces’, ‘Bulk Edit’ and ‘Arp/LLDP’ tabs, and are rendered in the file templates/_tab_if_basics.html, templates/_tab_if_bulkedit.html and templates/_tab_if_arp_lldp.html

Those 3 pages each have loops for the interfaces, and for each interface the vlan ID is used to get the “vlan.name” entry.

And on the Device Info tab, in the Vlan card. This is rendered in templates/_tab_info_vlans.html
