Hi Guys,
I just started learning Python a couple of days ago and to put some of
what I learnt into practice. As such I thought I might try and write a
simple program (based on examples I had seen) that would allow me to
log into a Cisco router, enter configuration mode, change an interface
description and also grab a snapshot of the running configuration.
So far I've managed to be able to log in and change the interface
configuration. The tn.read_until() function seems to work pretty much
as I expected however for the life of me I cannot get the running
configuration to display with any of the read functions.
Suggestion pleasemy code thus far follows:
import getpass
import sys
import telnetlib
#This can actually log in and change an interface description on a
router
HOST = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
#user = raw_input(Enter your remote account: )
#password = getpass.getpass()
password = tacis345int
tn = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST)
#tn.interact()
tn.read_until(Password:)
tn.write(password + \n)
#if password:
#tn.read_until(Password: )
#tn.write(password + \n)
tn.read_until(port)
#tn.write(show version\n)
#tn.write(\n\n)
#tn.read_until(port)
tn.write(enable\n)
tn.read_until(assword: )
tn.write(tacis345int\n)
tn.read_until(port#)
tn.write(conf t\n)
tn.read_until(config)#)
tn.write(int ethernet0\n)
tn.read_until(config)
tn.write(desc This was written by my script\n)
tn.write(show run\n)
print tn.read_very_lazy()
tn.write(exit\n)
tn.read_until(#)
tn.write(quit\n)
tn.close()
print tn.read_all()
The only output I get from this is:
-if)#
show
I have tried the other read options but nothing seems to work for me.
I'm obviously missing something, so if anyone could shed some light
that would be great.
