+Nexus 9000 Partner Demo Scripts
+===============================
+Welcome to the OneCloud Consulting Nexus 9000 demo script repository.
+
+These scripts were developed and tested on a Nexus 9000 C9372PX chassis running 7.0(3)I1(2).
+
+Summary
+========
+1. __find_freeip.py__ : Pings a range of IP addresses then prints which are UP followed by a summary of addresses that are unused.
+2. __sh_switch_details.py__ : Displays specific details from neighbor based on its IP address. Demonstrates use of a single programmatic Python instruction versus a series of CLI commands to obtain the same information.
+3. __cdp.py__ : Configures interface descriptions based on CDP information.
+4. __lldp.py__ : Configured interface descriptions based on LLDP information.
+5. __ospf.py__ : Provides menu driven options to configure OSPF interface attributes (area/cost).
+6. __pim.py__ : Provides menu driven options to configure PIM  interface attributes.
+7. __cleanup.py__ : Provides menu driven options to cleanup demo configurations.
+8. __sh_version.py__ : Uses NX-API to compare expected NX-OS version against actual NX-OS versions running in the network.
+9. __sh_proc_cpu_sort.py__ : Checks CPU health of switch at regular intervals with option to log output to file for TAC.
+10. __sh_proc_mem.py__ : Checks memory utilization of switch at regular intervals with option to log to file for TAC.
+11. __sh_int_count.py__ : Checks interface packet count at regular intervals with option to log to file for TAC.

+#Nexus 9000 Switch Automation tasks
+
+#Automation of Switch Configuration Category
+Pre-requisites: Install jinja2 template engine e.g pip install jinja2
+Python version > 2.7.*
+
+Scripts are tested on Ubuntu 14.04 release machine.
+Nexus Switch version is NXOS: version 6.1(2)I3(1)
+
+Note: If pip does not exist then install it with the command 'sudo apt-get install python-pip'
+
+1. Dynamically update Interface description(for cdp protocol)
+
+  Steps :
+
+     a. Edit the nexus_automation.cfg configuration file with switch host details i.e username,password and email address.
+     b. verify the jinja templates exists or not.
+     c. schedule the cron job for the python script e.g */15 * * * * cd /home/ubuntu/nexus9000/nexusscripts && python interface_desc_cdp.py
+
+   Note : Follow the above steps to update interface description based on the lldp protocol status. 
+
+
+2. FEX Configuration
+
+  Steps :
+
+     a. Configuration file is reused from the interface description update (check the host details and email address)
+     b. verify the jinja templates exists or not. 
+     c. Example inputs to the script : --interface-type ethernet --interface-number 1/20 --fex-number 102
+     d. schedule the cron job for the python script e.g */15 * * * * cd /home/ubuntu/nexus9000/nexusscripts && python fex_config.py

+
+Nexus Switch version is NXOS: version 6.1(2)I3(1)
+
+
+1. Dynamically update Interface description
+
+  Steps :
+
+     a. Execute the script(interface_desc_cdp.py) on the required switch to update the interface description based on the cdp protocol status for the cisco devices as neighbours. 
+     b. command to execute : python filename
+
+
+2. FEX Configuration
+
+  Steps :
+
+     a. Execute the script(fex_config.py) on the required switch to check the FEX configuration status.
