Hi There,

trying ciscolib module to discover network topology. small script as below

import ciscolib
switch = ciscolib.Device("172.21.160.3", "test123", "anna")
switch.connect()
print(switch.get_neighbors())

Output:
[{'ip': '172.21.162.164', 'hostname': 'PUN-DIG-DIG-01-ONN-BR-BS-GL-01', 'remote_port': 'FastEthernet0/24', 'local_port': 'FastEthernet0/18'}, {'ip': '172.21.162.157', 'hostname': 'PUN-DIG-DIG-02-ONN-BR-BS-01', 'remote_port': 'FastEthernet0/24', 'local_port': 'FastEthernet0/15'}, {'ip': '172.21.162.71', 'hostname': 'PUN-DIG-DIG-01-ONN-BR-BS-70', 'remote_port': 'FastEthernet0/24', 'local_port': 'FastEthernet0/19'}, {'ip': '172.21.160.2', 'hostname': 'pu-dig-dig-r1-as01', 'remote_port': 'GigabitEthernet1/0/9', 'local_port': 'GigabitEthernet0/1'}]

need to print output as below

ip:172.21.162.164 hostname:PUN-DIG-DIG-01-ONN-BR-BS-GL-01 remote_port:FastEthernet0/24 local_port:FastEthernet0/18
ip:172.21.162.157 hostname:PUN-DIG-DIG-02-ONN-BR-BS-01 remote_port:FastEthernet0/24 local_port:FastEthernet0/15
ip:172.21.160.2 hostname:pu-dig-dig-r1-as01 remote_port:GigabitEthernet1/0/9 local_port:GigabitEthernet0/1

you get list of dicts. Iterate over it and print elements whatever you like.
Frankly, it becomes boring to answer virtually same questions over and over again...

thanks, Buran, sorry for such boring question... I am not full time coder and weak at list and dict.

Hi Buran,

is this ok? please suggest

import ciscolib
ip = "172.21.160.3"
switch = ciscolib.Device(ip, "test123", "anna")
switch.connect()
ne= switch.get_neighbors()
for item in ne:
    print ip+"\t"+item['ip']+"\t"+item['hostname']+"\t"+item['remote_port']+"\t"+item['local_port']

Output:172.21.160.3    172.21.162.164  PUN-DIG-DIG-01-ONN-BR-BS-GL-01  FastEthernet0/24        FastEthernet0/18
172.21.160.3    172.21.162.157  PUN-DIG-DIG-02-ONN-BR-BS-01     FastEthernet0/24        FastEthernet0/15
172.21.160.3    172.21.162.71   PUN-DIG-DIG-01-ONN-BR-BS-70     FastEthernet0/24        FastEthernet0/19
172.21.160.3    172.21.160.2    pu-dig-dig-r1-as01      GigabitEthernet1/0/9    GigabitEthernet0/1

use string

well, that is a question only you can answer. Does it look like YOU want it?
for print you may use something like this, more pythonic

neighbours = [{'ip': '172.21.162.164', 'hostname': 'PUN-DIG-DIG-01-ONN-BR-BS-GL-01', 'remote_port': 'FastEthernet0/24', 'local_port': 'FastEthernet0/18'}, {'ip': '172.21.162.157', 'hostname': 'PUN-DIG-DIG-02-ONN-BR-BS-01', 'remote_port': 'FastEthernet0/24', 'local_port': 'FastEthernet0/15'}, {'ip': '172.21.162.71', 'hostname': 'PUN-DIG-DIG-01-ONN-BR-BS-70', 'remote_port': 'FastEthernet0/24', 'local_port': 'FastEthernet0/19'}, {'ip': '172.21.160.2', 'hostname': 'pu-dig-dig-r1-as01', 'remote_port': 'GigabitEthernet1/0/9', 'local_port': 'GigabitEthernet0/1'}]
my_ip = "172.21.160.3"
for item in neighbours:
    print('{my_ip}\t{ip}\t{hostname: <30}\t{remote_port}\t{local_port}'.format(my_ip=my_ip, **item))

or use some of the avalable packages for print tabular data:
