"Error: Port-profile is not configured to accept switching commands" in brocade plugin

[Christoph Dwertmann]

Creating a network fails on a Brocade 6710 switch running NOS 4.10a:

2014-05-16 11:41:39.096 28138 TRACE neutron.plugins.brocade.NeutronPlugin RPCError: NSM_ERR_DCM_APPM_VLAN_PROFILE_MODE_INVALID | %Error: Port-profile is not configured to accept switching commands

The problem is that apparently the NETCONF command to set the port into port-profile mode has changed. The current XML template (neutron/plugins/brocade/nos/nctemplates.py) (not working):

# Configure L2 mode for VLAN sub-profile (port_profile_name)
CONFIGURE_L2_MODE_FOR_VLAN_PROFILE = """
    <config xmlns:xc="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
        <port-profile xmlns="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-port-profile">
            <name>{name}</name>
            <vlan-profile>
                <switchport/>
            </vlan-profile>
        </port-profile>
    </config>
"""

The correct template (working):

# Configure L2 mode for VLAN sub-profile (port_profile_name)
CONFIGURE_L2_MODE_FOR_VLAN_PROFILE = """
    <config xmlns:xc="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
        <port-profile xmlns="urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-port-profile">
            <name>{name}</name>
            <vlan-profile>
                <switchport-basic>
                    <basic/>
                </switchport-basic>
            </vlan-profile>
        </port-profile>
    </config>
"""

Fixing the template resolves the issue.

Fix proposed to branch: master

[Shiv Haris (shh)]

This is due to slight change in the NETCONF request in the new Brocade NOS.

This bug is fixed as a result of checking the NOS firmware version and using the correct ncclient templates.
