So I thought I would have this lab ready by now...

But obviously, that won't be quite ready today. Spinning up 2 CUCM clusters, to set parameters on the SIP trunks and make a LUA scripting post... I also hit a really nice BUG with FIPS on 14 SU2, haven't confirmed it's on SU1, and working on that in a production environment has taken up more time than I like to admit.

Update, we have both call managers stood up, it will be an A side to B side across a trunk from Jabber clients injects and parsing key value pairs via LUA.

Policy Based Routing on a Nexus

First of all, let's just admit, I am a collab guy, doing work on a Nexus is a foreign experience. While some things are intuitive not everything follows RFC's and the Nexus platform is a bit more restrictive. First of all, to get PBR going, I had to change the hardware profile, since I have no intention of using QoS internally in my lab, I decided to steal from it: hardware profile tcam region qos 0 hardware profile tcam region pbr 256 This then requires a reboot.  After this is done and the pbr feature is enabled: feature pbr You can get into creating the route-maps.  However, unlike IOS devices you can only use permits in your acl's and then use a deny statement on the route map itself: ip access-list PBR_DENY statistics per-entry 10 permit ip any 192.168.1.0/24 ip access-list PBR_PERMIT  statistics per-entry  10 permit ip any any route-map PBR_RULE pbr-statistics route-map PBR_RULE deny 10  match ip address PBR_DENY route-map PBR_RULE permit 2

Well... chatGPT, collab, automation, monolithic code and bad APIs

Let's just be honest about the state of things from an automation standpoint: import pandas as pd import re # Variable Definitions template_file_name = 'phonebuttontemplate.csv' device_file_name = 'deviceprofile.csv' modified_device_file_name = 'deviceprofile_modified.csv' replacement_value = 'DELETED' end_column_number = 89 print_line_counts = False  # Flag this if you encounter issues and want to print the Line count for each row in the template csv first_column_name = 'Device Profile Name' # Read phonebuttontemplate.csv print("Reading phonebuttontemplate.csv...") template_df = pd.read_csv(template_file_name) # Store header row header_row_template = list(template_df.columns) # Initialize a dictionary to store the values template_dict = {} # Loop through the DataFrame rows for _, row in template_df.iterrows():     name = row.get('NAME', None)     # Check if the row has a NAME and is not empty     if pd.notna(name):
