Presets and PortMapping Objects

[Harry Foster]

Hi All



We're currently attempting to integrate GenieACS into our router provisioning process via the REST API, and testing with the GenieACS-GUI. All seems to be great except for a stumbling block we've encountered which is the organisation of the PortMapping object and how to cleanly use them in a Preset.



As it currently stands, it's quite often we will have per-CPE configurations that include port forwarding based on the client's requests. We have managed to preset PortMappings, however we had to create an object for each PortMapping, each with their own unique values for the indiviual port forwards. My concern with creating objects for each PortForward is the added complexity, naming and management of them via the API.



My question to you all, is how are you currently handling presetting almost-unique objects to a device? Do we have to create an object for each individual port forward, or is it possible to add and subsequently set the parameters just with the presets?



Here's an example of a PortMapping:



InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.1.WANConnectionDevice.1.WANPPPConnection.1.PortMapping

InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.1.WANConnectionDevice.1.WANPPPConnection.1.PortMapping.1.ExternalPort 0

InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.1.WANConnectionDevice.1.WANPPPConnection.1.PortMapping.1.RemoteHost

InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.1.WANConnectionDevice.1.WANPPPConnection.1.PortMapping.1.PortMappingEnabled false

InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.1.WANConnectionDevice.1.WANPPPConnection.1.PortMapping.1.PortMappingProtocol TCP

InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.1.WANConnectionDevice.1.WANPPPConnection.1.PortMapping.1.ExternalPortEndRange 0

InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.1.WANConnectionDevice.1.WANPPPConnection.1.PortMapping.1.PortMappingLeaseDuration 0

InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.1.WANConnectionDevice.1.WANPPPConnection.1.PortMapping.1.InternalClient

InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.1.WANConnectionDevice.1.WANPPPConnection.1.PortMapping.1.InternalPort 0

InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.1.WANConnectionDevice.1.WANPPPConnection.1.PortMapping.1.PortMappingDescription



You can probably imagine, it might get messy if an object is needed for each different mapping. Apologies if I've missed something completely obvious!



Thanks in advance.
