cisco-acl
=========

Python package to parse and manage Cisco ACL (Access Control List).

Supported platforms:

- Cisco IOS (tested on ISR4331/K9, IOS XE version 16.09.06)
- Cisco Nexus NX-OS (tested on N3K-C3172TQ-XL, NXOS version 7.0(3)I7(8))

Main features:

- Supports wildcards, converts wildcards to prefixes
- Supports uni-dimensional address groups (address-group inside other address-group is not supported)
- Represents TCP/UDP ports and IP protocols as numbers or well-known names
- Converts IOS syntax to NX-OS and vice vera
- Generates sequence numbers for ACEs
- Looks for and removes ACEs in the shadow (rules without hits)
- Groups ACEs to blocks. After sorting, the order of ACEs within a group does not change

acls()
------
**cisco_acl.acls(config, kwargs)**
Creates *Acl* objects based on the "show running-config" output.
Support address group objects.
Each ACE line is treated as an independent *Ace* (default) or ACE lines can be
grouped to *AceGroup* by text in remarks (param `group_by`)

=============== ============ =======================================================================
Parameter       Type         Description
=============== ============ =======================================================================
config          *str*        Cisco config, "show running-config" output
platform        *str*        Platform: "ios" (default), "nxos"
version         *str*        Software version, default is "0".
names           *List[str]*  Parses only ACLs with specified names, skips any other
max_ncwb        *int*        Max count of non-contiguous wildcard bits
indent          *str*        ACE lines indentation (default "  ")
protocol_nr     *bool*       Well-known ip protocols as numbers, True  - all ip protocols as numbers, False - well-known ip protocols as names (default)
port_nr         *bool*       Well-known TCP/UDP ports as numbers, True  - all tcp/udp ports as numbers, False - well-known tcp/udp ports as names (default)
group_by        *str*        Startswith in remark line. ACEs group, starting from the Remark, where line startswith `group_by`, will be applied to the same AceGroup, until next Remark that also startswith `group_by`
=============== ============ =======================================================================

Return
    List of *Acl* objects

**Examples**
