Services Module¶

This module provides an interface to uploading L4-7 device packages to the controller. Refer to the Developing L4-L7 Device Packages document for more information on creating device packages.

Example:

session = cobra.mit.session.LoginSession('https://apic', 'admin',
                                         'password', secure=False)
moDir = cobra.mit.access.MoDirectory(session)
moDir.login()

packageUpload = cobra.services.UploadPackage('asa-device-pkg.zip')
response = moDir.commit(packageUpload)
