• Demonstrates the use of SSH Hostkey policy. Different ways to use hostkey policies :

session.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
session.load_host_keys('/home/evolve/.ssh/known_hosts')
session.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.WarningPolicy())

Directory : 02_Configure_Device_Using_CSV

This directory contains Scripts which explains how to read Device IP Address and configuration lines from CSV file and configure respective devices using Python.

• Sample CSV FIle Used for Configuring the Device :

• The above CSV file will create a Dictionary in below format

conf_dict={'192.168.0.50': ['terminal len 0',
                  'config t',
                  'int gi1',
                  'no shut',
                  'exit',
                  'exit',
                  'show ip int brie',
                  'show run int gi1'],
 '192.168.0.51': ['terminal len 0',
                  'config t',
                  'int lo0',
                  'ip add 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0',
                  'int lo1',
                  'ip add 11.0.0.1 255.255.255.0',
                  'do show run int loopback0',
                  'do show run int loopback1'],
 '192.168.0.53': ['terminal len 0', 'config t', 'int gi3', 'no shut'],
 'csr1.test.lab': ['terminal len 0',
                   'config t',
                   'int gi2',
                   'no shut',
                   'ip address 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.0',
                   'exit',
                   'exit',
                   'show ip int brie',
                   'show run int gi2']}

Directory : 03_Cisco_Config_Parser_Regex

This directory contains Scripts which explains how to parse configuration lines from Cisco Devices Using Regex in Python

Sample Parsed Output :

*Show Version Parser

*Show Running Config Parser Output:

• Regex Patterns Used for Show Version Parser:

version_pattern = re.compile(r'Cisco .+ Software, Version (\S+)')
model_pattern = re.compile(r'cisco (\S+).+bytes of memory\.')
serial_no_pattern = re.compile(r'Processor board ID (\S+)')
uptime_pattern = re.compile(r'(.+) uptime is (.*)')

• Regex Patterns Used for Show running Parser:

hostname_pattern = re.compile(r'hostname (\S+)')
domainname_pattern = re.compile(r'ip domain name (.+)')
pid_pattern = re.compile(r'license udi pid (\w+) sn (\S+)')
netconf_pattern = re.compile(r"netconf-yang\r\n")
username_pattern = re.compile(r'username (\S+) privilege (\d{2})')
interface_pattern = re.compile(r'interface (\S+[.]?\d*)\r\n.+?\r?\n?\s?ip address ([\d\.]+) ([\d\.]+)')
interface_prop_pattern = re.compile(r'interface (?P<name>\S+[.]?\d*)\r\n\s?.+?\r?\n?\s?ip address (?P<ip_aadress>[\d\.]+) (?P<mask>[\d\.]+)')
default_route_pattern = re.compile(r'ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0.+?([\d.]+)\r\n')
static_route_pattern = re.compile(r'ip route (?P<dst_subnet>[^0][\d\.]+) (?P<mask>[^0][\d\.]+) (?P<next_hop>[\d\.]+)')
