This section shows how to use ANTA with basic configuration. All examples are based on Arista Test Drive (ATD) topology you can access by reaching out to your preferred SE.
## Installation
The easiest way to install ANTA package is to run Python (`>=3.9`) and its pip package to install:
```bash
pip install anta[cli]
```
For more details about how to install package, please see the [requirements and installation](./requirements-and-installation.md) section.
## Configure Arista EOS devices
For ANTA to be able to connect to your target devices, you need to configure your management interface
```eos
vrf instance MGMT
!
interface Management0
description oob_management
vrf MGMT
ip address 192.168.0.10/24
!
```
Then, configure access to eAPI:
```eos
!
management api http-commands
protocol https port 443
no shutdown
vrf MGMT
no shutdown
!
!
```
## Create your inventory
ANTA uses an inventory to list the target devices for the tests. You can create a file manually with this format:
```yaml
anta_inventory:
hosts:
- host: 192.168.0.10
name: spine01
tags: ['fabric', 'spine']
- host: 192.168.0.11
name: spine02
tags: ['fabric', 'spine']
- host: 192.168.0.12
name: leaf01
tags: ['fabric', 'leaf']
- host: 192.168.0.13
name: leaf02
tags: ['fabric', 'leaf']
- host: 192.168.0.14
name: leaf03
tags: ['fabric', 'leaf']
- host: 192.168.0.15
name: leaf04
tags: ['fabric', 'leaf']
```
> You can read more details about how to build your inventory [here](usage-inventory-catalog.md#device-inventory)
## Test Catalog
To test your network, ANTA relies on a test catalog to list all the tests to run against your inventory. A test catalog references python functions into a yaml file.
The structure to follow is like:
```yaml
<anta_tests_submodule>:
- <anta_tests_submodule function name>:
<test function option>:
<test function option value>
```
> You can read more details about how to build your catalog [here](usage-inventory-catalog.md#test-catalog)
Here is an example for basic tests:
```yaml
# Load anta.tests.software
anta.tests.software:
- VerifyEOSVersion: # Verifies the device is running one of the allowed EOS version.
versions: # List of allowed EOS versions.
- 4.25.4M
- 4.26.1F
- '4.28.3M-28837868.4283M (engineering build)'
- VerifyTerminAttrVersion:
versions:
- v1.22.1
anta.tests.system:
- VerifyUptime: # Verifies the device uptime is higher than a value.
minimum: 1
- VerifyNTP:
- VerifySyslog:
anta.tests.mlag:
- VerifyMlagStatus:
- VerifyMlagInterfaces:
- VerifyMlagConfigSanity:
anta.tests.configuration:
- VerifyZeroTouch: # Verifies ZeroTouch is disabled.
- VerifyRunningConfigDiffs:
```
## Test your network
### CLI
ANTA comes with a generic CLI entrypoint to run tests in your network. It requires an inventory file as well as a test catalog.
This entrypoint has multiple options to manage test coverage and reporting.
```bash
--8<-- "anta_help.txt"
```
```bash
--8<-- "anta_nrfu_help.txt"
```
To run the NRFU, you need to select an output format amongst ["json", "table", "text", "tpl-report"]. For a first usage, `table` is recommended. By default all test results for all devices are rendered but it can be changed to a report per test case or per host
#### Default report using table
```bash
anta nrfu \
--username tom \
--password arista123 \
--enable \
--enable-password t \
--inventory .personal/inventory_atd.yml \
--catalog .personal/tests-bases.yml \
table --tags leaf
