  • 1.  Import NAD's via XML

    Posted Nov 21, 2019 05:22 AM

    Hi all,

     

    I've been trying to add (a lot of) new switches into the CPPM. Whatever I try to do, I keep receiving:

     

    File contains invalid XML tags. Try export to see the valid XML tags.

    I've found the how to and other topics here, but a proper functioning example does not seem to exist. I've exported some NAD's from CPPM and changed the values which resulted in errors, I simplified the xml as much as I could, but no luck neither.

     

    Has somebody done this successfully and willing to share his xml file, or correct mine?

     

    The simplified version:

    <xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="true">
<TipsContents xmlns="http://www.avendasys.com/tipsapiDefs/1.0">
<NadClients>
<NadClient ipAddress="10.10.10.10" tacacsSecret="thisisaverystrongpassword:)" vendorName="Cisco" coaCapable="true" radsecEnabled="false" coaPort="3799" name="Switchname" description="Location">
</NadClient>
</NadClients>
</TipsContents>

    The adapted export:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="true"?>
<TipsContents xmlns="http://www.avendasys.com/tipsapiDefs/1.0">
<TipsHeader version="6.8" exportTime="Thu Nov 21 10:54:43 CET 2019"/>

    Found the issue!

     

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="true"?>

    This is found in the export  and won't work if you want to import.

    Whenever importing your xml use:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

    Also, my "verysecretpassword" contained an "&" which caused some issues. So instead of "&" we had to use "&amp;"

     

    Conclussion: a working example looks like this:

     

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<TipsContents xmlns="http://www.avendasys.com/tipsapiDefs/1.0">
<TipsHeader version="6.8" exportTime="Wed Nov 27 10:07:44 CET 2019"/>
