Hello all! I need to push out a new configuration to about 2000+ Cisco IOS devices and about 1000+ Fortinet firewall appliances. I found a nice script that does most of what I want but won't execute configuration commands. For some reason if I alter the configuration it won't accept the configuration commands. Since I have a huge IP listing I will need to call the IP addresses from a file and to be able to log the results of the output to a file.
Below is the script I found on the internet that works great for issuing show commands:
Below is another script that does what I want but doesn't call IP's from a file nor writes the output to a file.
Below is the script I found on the internet that works great for issuing show commands:
from __future__ import print_function
from netmiko import ConnectHandler
import sys
import time
import select
import paramiko
import re
fd = open(r'C:\Command_Output.txt','w') # Where you want the file to save to.
old_stdout = sys.stdout
sys.stdout = fd
platform = 'cisco_ios'
username = 'admin' # edit to reflect
password = 'XXXXX' # edit to reflect
ip_add_file = open(r'C:\IPAddressList.txt','r') # a simple list of IP addresses you want to connect to each one on a new line
for host in ip_add_file:
host = host.strip()
device = ConnectHandler(device_type=platform, ip=host, username=username, password=password)
output = device.send_command('terminal length 0')
# output = device.send_command('enable') #Editable to be what ever is needed - Uncomment by removing the # at the begining of the line
print('##############################################################\n')
print('...................CISCO COMMAND SHOW RUN OUTPUT......................\n')
output = device.send_command('sh run')
print(output)
print('##############################################################\n')
print('...................CISCO COMMAND SHOW IP INT BR OUTPUT......................\n')
output = device.send_command('sh ip int br')
print(output)
print('##############################################################\n')
fd.close()If I try to alter the commands such as output = device.send_command('configure terminal') then I want to be able to execute more commands line by line.Below is another script that does what I want but doesn't call IP's from a file nor writes the output to a file.
import paramiko
import time
ip_address = "10.164.178.254"
username = "admin"
password = "XXXXX"
ssh_client = paramiko.SSHClient()
ssh_client.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
ssh_client.connect(hostname=ip_address,username=username,password=password)
print ("Successful connection", ip_address)
remote_connection = ssh_client.invoke_shell()
remote_connection.send("configure terminal\n")
remote_connection.send("snmp-server community ORION\n")
remote_connection.send("snmp-server host 10.1.4.82 version 2c ORION\n")
remote_connection.send("line vty 0 4\n")
remote_connection.send("exec-timeout 60\n")
remote_connection.send("end\n")
time.sleep(1)
output = remote_connection.recv(65535)
print(output)
ssh_client.closeCan someone please assist in somehow combining the functionality of both of the scripts into one that will accomplish the end goal? Any help is greatly appreciated!
