Can "CLI" Python Librairy in IOS-XE help to upgrade/install software

Hi Dear Community,

I wondered if the Python module "CLI" or any other embedded python librairy could help to automate the Download/Upgrade of the software on an IOS-XE device ?

Thanks in advance.

Hey @Jerems you cani think you need to do this with Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) https://blogs.cisco.com/developer/device-provisioning-with-ios-xe-zero-touch-provisioning

Hi,

Thanks @bigevilbeard. You perflecty understood what i was thinking about. In the following days, i will write an article on how i was able to register a Cisco ISR1111 and ISR4321 into Cisco NSO thanks to DHCP option 67 and a Python script. A part of my lab relied on the article written by @jcohoe. Still, i am missing some skill about python and wondered if someone could help me in finding a way to instruct my ISR using a python script which will allow devices to download an IOS binary on their flash or execute the upgrade remotely to avoid any waste of space on the flash of the routers.

Thanks in advance,

Jerems
