About this Guide
This NSO Resource Manager (RM) API Guide describes the APIs exposed by the Resource Manager package that you can use to allocate IPs from the IP resource pool and to allocate the IDs from ID resource pools.
Intended Audience
This guide is intended for Cisco advanced services developers, network engineers, and system engineers to install the RM package inside NSO and then utilize the APIs exposed by the RM package to allocate and manage IP subnets and IDs as required by other CFPs installed alongside this RM package inside NSO.
Additional Documentation
This documentation requires the reader to have a good understanding of NSO and its usage as described in the following NSO documentation:
The APIs exposed by the Resource Manager package are used to allocate IP subnets and IDs from the IP and ID resource pools respectively by the applications requesting the resources. The APIs help to allocate, update, or deallocate the resources. You can make API calls to the resource pools as long as the pool is not exhausted of the resources. If the pool is exhausted of resources or if the referenced pool does not exist in the database when there is a request, the allocation raises an exception.
When a service makes multiple resource allocations from a single pool, the optional ‘name’ parameter allows the service to distinguish the different allocations. By default, the parameter value is an empty string.
Resource allocation can be synchronous or asynchronous.
The synchronized allocation API request uses a Reactive-Fast-Map to allocate resources and still manages the interface to look synchronous. This means that as you create any allocation request from Northbound, you can see the allocation results, such as the requested IP subnet/ID in the same transaction. If a NB is making an allocation request, and in the same transaction a configuration is being applied to a specific device, the commit dry run receives the request response, and the response is processed by the RM and the configurations are pushed to the device in the same transaction. Thus, the NB user can see the get modification in the commit dry run.
During a resource request, the resource is allocated and stored in the create callback. This allocation is visible to other services that are run in the same or subsequent transactions and therefore avoids the recreation of resource when the service is redeployed. Synchronous allocation does not require service re-deploy to read allocation. The same transaction can read allocation. Commit dry-run or get-modification displays the allocation details as output.
The following is an example for a Northbound service callback passed with required API parameters for both synchronous and asynchronous IPv4 allocations. The example uses pool-example package as a reference. The request describes the details it uses, such as the pool, device. Each allocation has an allocation ID. In the following example, the allocating service pulls one IPv4 address from the IPv4 resource pool. The requesting service then uses this allocated IP address to set the interface address on the device southbound to NSO.

}IPv4 and IPv6 have separate IP pool types; there is no mixed IP pool. You can specify a prefixlen parameter for IP pools to allocate a net of a given size. The default value is the maximum prefix length of 32 and 128 for IPv4 and IPv6, respectively.
The following APIs are used in IPv4 and IPv6 allocations.
Resource Manager exposes the API calls to request IPv4 and IPv6 subnet allocations from the resource pool. These requests can be synchronous or asynchronous. This topic discusses the APIs for these flows.
The NSO Resource Manager interface and the resource allocator provide a generic resource allocation mechanism that works well with services. Each pool has an allocation list where services are expected to create instances to signal that they request an allocation. The request parameters are stored in the request container, and the allocation response is written in the response container.
The APIs exposed by RM are implemented in Python as well as Java, so the NB user can configure the service to be a Java package or a Python package and call the allocator API as per the implementation. The NB user can also use NSO CLI to make an allocation request to the IP allocator RM package.
This section covers the Java APIs exposed by the RM package to the NB user to make IP subnet allocation requests.
The asynchronous subnet allocation requests can be created for a requesting service with:
The redeploy type set to default type or set to redeployType.
The CIDR mask length can be set to invert the subnet mask length for Boolean
operations with IP addresses or set not to be able to invert the subnet mask length.
Pass the starting IP address of the subnet to the requesting service redeploy type
(default/redeployType).
The following are the Java APIs for asynchronous IP allocation requests.
The requesting service redeploy type is default, and CIDR mask length cannot be inverted for the subnet allocation request. Make sure the NavuNode service is the same node you get in service create. This ensures the back pointers are updated correctly and RFM works as intended.

The API throws the following exception error if the requested resource pool does not exist: ResourceErrorException
The API throws the following exception error if the requested resource pool is exhausted: AddressPoolException
The API throws the following exception error if the requested netmask is invalid: InvalidNetmaskException
The sync_alloc parameter in the API determines if the allocation request is for a synchronous or asynchronous mode. Set the sync_alloc parameter to true for synchronous flow.
The subnet allocation requests can be created for a requesting service with:
The redeploy type set to default type or redeployType type.
The CIDR mask length can be set to invert the subnet mask length for Boolean operations with IP addresses or set to not be able to invert the subnet mask length.
Pass the starting IP address of the subnet to the requesting service redeploy type (default/redeploytype).
The following are the Java APIs for synchronous or asynchronous IP allocation requests.
The requesting service redeploy type is default and CIDR mask length can be inverted for the subnet allocation request. Set sync_alloc to true to make a synchronous allocation request with commit dry-run support. Make sure the NavuNode service is the same node you get in service create.

The RM package exposes Python APIs to manage allocation for IP subnet from the resource pool.
Below is the list of Python APIs exposed by the RM package.
The following API is used to create an allocation request for an IP address from a resource pool.
Use the API definition net_request found in the module resource_manager.ipaddress_allocator.
The net_request function is designed to create an allocation request for a network. It takes several arguments, including the requesting service, username, pool name, allocation name, CIDR mask (size of the network), and optional parameters such as invert_cidr, redeploy_type, sync_alloc, and root. After calling this function, you need to call net_read to read the allocated IP from the subnet.
def net_request (service,
svc_xpath,
username,
pool_name,
allocation_name,
cidrmask,
invert_cidr=False,
redeploy_type="default",
sync_alloc=False,
root=None)API Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|------------------|----------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| service | | The requesting service node. |
| svc_xpath | String | XPath to the requesting service. |
| username | String | Name of the user to use when redeploying the requesting service. |
| pool_name | Int | Name of the resource pool to make the allocation request from. |
| allocation_name | String | Unique allocation name. |
| cidrmask | | Size of the network. |
| invert_cidr | Boolean | |
| redeploy_type | | Service redeploy action. Available options: default, touch, re-deploy, reactive-re-deploy, no-redeploy. |
| sync_alloc | Boolean | Allocation type, whether synchronous or asynchronous. By default, it is asynchronous. |
| Root | | Root node. If sync is set to true, you must provide a root node. |Example
import resource_manager.ipaddress_allocator as ip_allocator
# Define pool and allocation names
pool_name = "The Pool"
allocation_name = "Unique allocation name"
sync_alloc_name = "Unique synchronous allocation name"
# Asynchronous network allocation
# This will try to allocate a network of size 24 from the pool named 'The Pool'
# using the allocation name: 'Unique allocation name'
ip_allocator.net_request(
service,
"/services/vl:loop-python[name='%s']" % (service.name),
tctx.username,
pool_name,
allocation_name,
24
)
# Synchronous network allocation
# This will try to allocate a network of size 24 from the pool named 'The Pool'
# using the allocation name: 'Unique synchronous allocation name'
ip_allocator.net_request(
service,
"/services/vl:loop-python[name='%s']" % (service.name),
tctx.username,
pool_name,
sync_alloc_name,
24,
sync=True,
root=root
)The following API is used to create a static allocation request for an IP address from a resource pool. Use the API definition net_request_static found in the module resource_manager.ipaddress_allocator.
The net_request_static function extends the functionality of net_request to allow for the static allocation of network resources, specifically addressing individual IP addresses within a subnet. In addition to the parameters used in net_request, it also accepts subnet_start_ip, which specifies the starting IP address of the requested subnet. This function provides a way to allocate specific IP addresses within a network pool, useful for scenarios where certain IP addresses need to be reserved or managed independently. The function maintains similar error handling and package requirements as net_request, ensuring consistency in network resource management.
def net_request_static(service,
svc_xpath,
username,
pool_name,
allocation_name,
subnet_start_ip,
cidrmask,
invert_cidr=False,
redeploy_type="default",
sync_alloc=False,
root=None)API Parameters

| sync_alloc | Boolean | Allocation type, whether synchronous or asynchronous. By default, it is asynchronous. |
| root | | Root node. If `sync` is set to true, you must provide a root node. |Example
import resource_manager.ipaddress_allocator as ip_allocator
# Define pool and allocation names
pool_name = "The Pool"
allocation_name = "Unique allocation name"
sync_alloc_name = "Unique synchronous allocation name"
# Asynchronous static IP allocation
# This will try to allocate the address 10.0.0.8 with a CIDR mask of 32
# from the pool named 'The Pool', using the allocation name: 'Unique allocation name'
ip_allocator.net_request_static(
service,
"/services/vl:loop-python[name='%s']" % (service.name),
tctx.username,
pool_name,
allocation_name,
"10.0.0.8",
32
)
# Synchronous static IP allocation
# This will try to allocate the address 10.0.0.9 with a CIDR mask of 32
# from the pool named 'The Pool', using the allocation name: 'Unique synchronous allocation name'
ip_allocator.net_request_static(

sync_alloc_name,
"10.0.0.9",
32,
sync=True,
root=root
)Use the API definition net_read found in the module resource_manager.ipaddress_allocator to read the allocated subnet IP. The net_read function retrieves the allocated network from the specified pool and allocation name. It takes the username, root node for the current transaction, pool name, and allocation name as parameters. The function interacts with the rm_alloc module to read the allocated network, returning it if available or None if not ready. It's important to note that the function should be used to ensure that the response subnet is received in the current transaction, avoiding aborts or failures during the commit.
def net_read(username,
root,
pool_name,
allocation_name)API Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|------------------|---------|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| username | String | Name of the user to use when redeploying the requesting service. |
| root | | A maagic root for the current transaction. |
| pool_name | String | Name of the resource pool to make the allocation request from. |
| allocation_name | String | Unique allocation name. |Example
# After requesting allocation, we check if IP is allocated.
net = ip_allocator.net_read(
tctx.username,
root,
pool_name,
allocation_name
)
if not net:
self.log.info("Alloc not ready")
return
print("net = %s" % (net))The RM package exposes Python APIs to manage non-service allocation for IP subnet from the resource pool. Below is the list of Python APIs exposed by the RM package.

The API may throw the below exception if no pool resource exists for the requested allocation: ResourceErrorException.
The API may throw the below exception if the ID request conflicts with another allocation or does not match the previous allocation in case of multiple owner requests: AllocationException.
The RM package also exposed Python APIs to request ID allocation from a resource pool. The below APIs are Python APIs exposed by RM for ID allocation.
Use the module resource_manager.id_allocator.
The id_request function is used to create an allocation request for an ID. It takes several arguments including the service, service xpath, username, pool name, allocation name, sync flag, requested ID (optional), redeploy type (optional), alloc sync flag (optional), and root (optional).
id_request(service,
svc_xpath,
username,
pool_name,
allocation_name,
sync_pool,
requested_id=-1,
redeploy_type="default",
sync_alloc=False,
root=None):API Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|----------------|----------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| service | | The requesting service node. |
| svc_xpath | Str | XPath to the requesting service. |
| username | Str | Name of the user to use when redeploying the requesting service. |
| pool_name | Str | Name of the resource pool to make the allocation request from. |
| allocation_name| Str | Unique allocation name. |
| sync_pool | Boolean | Sync allocations with this name across the pool. |
| requested_id | Int | A specific ID to be requested. |
| redeploy_type | | Service redeploy action. Available options: default, touch, re-deploy, reactive-re-deploy, no-redeploy.|
| sync_alloc | Boolean | Allocation type, whether synchronous or asynchronous. By default, it is asynchronous. |
| root | | Root node. If sync is set to true, you must provide a root node. |Example
import resource_manager.id_allocator as id_allocator
pool_name = "The Pool"
allocation_name = "Unique allocation name"
# This will try to allocate the value 20 from the pool named 'The Pool'
# using allocation name: 'Unique allocation name'
# It will allocate the id asynchronously from the pool ‘The Pool’
id_allocator.id_request(
service,
"/services/vl:loop-python[name='%s']" % (service.name),
tctx.username,
pool_name,
allocation_name,
False,
"firstfree",
20
)
# The below will allocate the id synchronously from the pool ‘The Pool’
id_allocator.id_request(
service,
"/services/vl:loop-python[name='%s']" % (service.name),
tctx.username,
pool_name,
allocation_name,
True,
"firstfree",
20
)
vlan_id = id_allocator.id_read(tctx.username, root, 'vlan-pool', service.name)
if vlan_id is None:
self.log.info(f"Allocation not ready...")
return propList
self.log.info(f"Allocation is ready: {vlan_id}")
service.vlan_id = vlan_idUse the API definition id_read found in the module resource_manager.id_allocator to read the allocated ID.
The id_read function is designed to return the allocated ID or none if the ID is not yet available. It first tries to look up the ID in the current transaction using the provided root , pool_name and allocation_name. If the ID is available in the current transaction, it returns the ID. If there is an error, it raises a LookupError. If the ID is not available in the current transaction, it calls id_read_async to asynchronously retrieve the ID.
id_read(username, root, pool_name, allocation_name)API Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|-----------------|-------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| username | Str | Name of the user to use when redeploying the requesting service. |
| Root | | A maagic root for the current transaction. |
| pool_name | Str | Name of the resource pool to make the allocation request from. |
| allocation_name | Str | Unique allocation name. |Example
# After requesting allocation, we check if the allocated ID is available
id = id_allocator.id_read(tctx.username, root, pool_name, allocation_name)
if not id:
self.log.info("Alloc not ready")
return
print ("id = %d" % (id))The RM package also exposes Python APIs to request ID allocation from a resource pool by passing the maapi object and transaction handle instead of the service. The below APIs are Python APIs for non-service ID allocation.
Use the module resource_manager.id_allocator.
id_request_trThe id_request_tr function is used to create an allocation request for an ID. It takes several arguments including the tr, username, pool name, allocation name, sync flag, requested ID (optional), redeploy type (optional), alloc sync flag (optional), and root (optional).
