Netmiko Nokia _SROS

[magohil]

Hi,

When execute command on Nokia MD-CLI it doesn't provide what command has been sent and prompt at bottom. Same work well for Classic-cli. Need to modify nokia_sros.py or something at router side ?

Example:
--------- Classic-CLI

*A:Hostname1# show version

*A:Hostname1# exit all

--------- MD-CLI (No command in beginning and no end prompt)

Netmiko should automatically strip the command and should automatically strip the trailing prompt. So the MD-CLI is the correct Netmiko behavior (and the classical-CLI behavior is incorrect).

Can you show me your code that is generating this output?

Thanks Kirk,
Understood. This behaviour create problem when we store command output to some text files. When someone else see that file they have no idea what device this output belong to and what command was triggered. For this I have applied session_log

Following is code:

import netmiko
from netmiko import ConnectHandler
import io
import os

current_dir = os.getcwd()
folder_path = os.path.join(current_dir, 'output')
ip_addr = 'x.x.x.x'
host = 'hostname1.txt'
file_path = os.path.join(folder_path, host)

alk = {
'device_type': 'nokia_sros',
'ip': ip_addr,
'port': 22,
'username': 'admin',
'password': 'admin',
"session_log": file_path
}

net_connect = ConnectHandler(**alk)
output = net_connect.send_command("show version",read_timeout=20)
print(output)
net_connect.disconnect()

Couldn't you just store the command that was run at the top of the file?

Something like this, but written to a file?

cmd = "show version"
output = net_connect.send_command(cmd)
print(f"#### {cmd} ####")
print(output)
print("#" * 40)

Or another common practice is to make the file name correspond to the name of the command i.e. "show_version.txt".
