packetlogic2.pldb.fileserv

This module contains functionality for accessing the "File server" on the PacketLogic system.

>>> import packetlogic2
>>> pl = packetlogic2.connect("192.168.1.25", "admin", "password")
>>> fs = pl.Fileserv()

close(self)

Immediately disconnects the resource.

After this method has been called this object becomes useless.

It may be used to force a disconnect when the garbage collector can't be trusted to do a timely disconnect.

commit(self, message='PythonAPI commit')

Store the current transaction to the database.

When you do this PacketLogic will reload the ruleset. This will take a lot of CPU resources from the system, try to do this in batches.

Observe that if you don't commit the changes you've made, no other resource (including the client) will see your changes.

Parameters:

message (str) - Message recorded in the commit log. Ignored in v12.1 and earlier.

message parameter is ignored in v12.1 firmware and earlier.

download(self, ftype, fname)

Download specified file.

>>> mib = fs.download('SNMP', 'PACKETLOGIC-MIB')
>>> len(mib)
191948
>>> mib[:84]
'-- THIS FILE IS AUTO-GENERATED - DO NOT EDIT!\n\nPACKETLOGIC-MIB DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN'

Returns:

The contents of the requested file.
str

Parameters:

ftype (int or str) - Type of file, the name of the area as a string, the 'id' provided by the types() method or one of the constants on the Fileserv object.

fname (str) - Name of file.

list(self, ftype)

List all files of specified type.

>>> fs.list(5)
[{'r_path': 'PACKETLOGIC-MIB'}]

>>> fs.list(fs.SNMP_MIB)
[{'r_path': 'PACKETLOGIC-MIB'}]

>>> fs.list('SNMP')
[{'r_path': 'PACKETLOGIC-MIB'}]

Returns:

List of files. Each file is represented as a dict with the key 'r_path'
list of dict

ping(self, string='')

Send a command to server to test if it is up.

protocol(self, protocol, strict=False)

Translate protocol name OR number to tuple with name AND number. Can be used to e.g translate numerical protocol in connlog.search() result to protocol name.

An unknown protocol will be translated to e.g '#7' or -1, unless strict is set to True, in which case ValueError is raised for unknown protocols.

Returns:

Tuple with name and nr of specified protocol.
tuple of (str, int)

Parameters:

protocol (int, str or a ProtocolObject Item) - Name or number of an IP protocol

strict (bool) - If True, ValueError is raised for an unknown protocol, if False (default), an unknown protocol translates to number -1 or name '#7' (where 7 is the supplied unknown protocol number).

protocols_dict(self)

Returns a dictionary with name:nr and nr:name items for IP protocols. Can be used to e.g translate numerical protocol in connlog.search() result to protocol name.

Returns:

Dict with name:nr and nr:name items for IP protocols.
dict of str:int and int:str

remove(self, ftype, fname)

Remove specified file from fileserv.

Parameters:

ftype (int) - Type of file, the name of the area as a string, the 'id' provided by the types() method or one of the constants on the Fileserv object.

fname (str) - Name of file.

rollback(self)

Abort the current transaction and discard the data.

This will also automatically happen if your connection drops or that you exit the program without commit.

Exceptions raised:

resource.PLDBError - If the rollback command failed.

services_cmd(self, services=[], props=[])

Send services to pldbd

Sets stringtable for services and properties. Do NOT use this unless you know exactly what you are doing.

Parameters:

services (list of str) - List of services

props (list of str) - List of service properties

services_list(self)

List all services

Returns:

List of services
list of str

services_prop_list(self)

List all properties.

Returns:

List of service properties
list of str

types(self)

List file types (directories) available on the system.

>>> fs.types()
[{'flags': 1L, 'id': 123L, 'name': 'Host Trigger Files'},
 {'flags': 3L, 'id': 234L, 'name': 'Firewall Trigger Files'},
 ...]

Returns:

List of the different file types available. Each type is represented as a dict with the keys 'name', 'id' and 'flags'
list of dict

upload(self, ftype, fname, data)

Upload a file to fileserv.

>>> licensedata=file('001122334455').read()
>>> fs.upload('Upgrade files', '001122334455.lic', licensedata)

Parameters:

ftype (int) - Type of file, the name of the area as a string, the 'id' provided by the types() method or one of the constants on the Fileserv object.

fname (str) - Name of file.

data (str) - The contents of the file.

wait_for_commit(self, pinginterval=60)

Wait for new data to be committed on resource.

This method returns as soon as the server signals that another client has committed new data to the resource. It also periodically tests the connection to the server. If connection is broken (or any other error happens) an exception is raised.

Parameters:

pinginterval (int) - Interval used to check if connection still is alive.

xfb_flags_list(self)

List all XFB (Transfer Behaviour) flags, that can be used in FlagObjects.

Returns:

List of XFB flags
list of str
