A10 ADP (Application Delivery Partitions) access via SNMP or REST API.

mykola · June 2020

Hello,

I'm trying to understand how can access data specific to particular partition via SNMP or REST API.

Imagine that I have partition "MyPartition1" with SLB configured on it (servers, server groups, virtual servers).

How can get the SLB details from this partition ? From what I understand community string need to be modified by adding the partition name into the SNMP string (e.g. snmpstring@MyPartition1) for SNMPv2 or the context parameter need to be used for SNMP v3. Can somebody confirm that my understanding is correct ?

Another question is - can I get this info via REST API ? Which API point should I use ?

Thanks in advance, Mykola

Hi,

Regarding SNMP you can access to partition specific OID´s by appending @<partition_name> to the community:

Shared:

vThunder-vMaster[1/1](config:1)#sh run snmp-server

!Section configuration: 357 bytes

!

snmp-server enable service

!

end

You can consult object specific OID´s using this command under determined partition:

vThunder-vMaster[1/1][cust1](config:1)#sh snmp oid server testsrv

Regarding aXAPI you need to use "active-partition" method to jump into determined partition:

A10Spain:etc jserrano$curl -k https://172.16.1.4/axapi/v3/active-partition/cust1 -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "authorization: A10 aff2fb862f71d49c918f0b1e7b1db4" -d "{ }"

{

"response": {

"status": "OK"

}

A10Spain:etc jserrano$~$ curl -k https://172.16.1.4/axapi/v3/active-partition -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "authoriation: A10 aff2fb862f71d49c918f0b1e7b1db4"

{

"active-partition": {

"partition-name": "cust1"

}
