Search and rename multiple accesspoints in Cisco Prime Infrastructure (tested with PI 3.4.1).
Upon execution the script will loop each row and search Cisco Prime for the mac-adress provided. In this case, accesspoint with mac-adress 00:00:00:00:00:01 will be renamed Main_AP01.
Yep, LDAP is integrated. To be able to login, the ldap user must be member of the group specified in project/item/views.py. The LDAP connection settings can be found in instance/flask.cfg.
Most Cisco Prime Infrastructures are set up to automatically detect new accesspoints being plugged into the network. When Prime detects a new accesspoint being plugged in, it receives a name in the webgui (AP000000000001) for later placement in the building/floor planning view.
This script will change the AP name so it's easier to find and monitor... obviously.
