Is there a way to add an "or" statement in a NQE? We are checking IOS versions against a model and Cisco says it can be this or that but the NQE we have looks like it's looking for both and throwing a false positive.

"Or" statement in NQE?
Best answer by jack.shen
the syntax for logical OR in NQE is ||
Here is an example to identify this or that model:
foreach d in network.devices
where device.platform.model == “model1” || device.platform.model == “model2” || device.platform.model == “model3”
…
…
An alternative to check multiple device model is to
- generate a list of device model that you want to include
- take advantage of the item in list method
for example, the above nqe query can be rewritten as:
my_ios_model=[
“model1”,
“model2”,
“model3”
]
foreach d in network.devices
where d.platform.model in my_ios_model
...
