alias for guestshell run python + script?

_|brt.drml|_ — Tue, 07 Sep 2021 10:56:39 GMT

I'm looking for a solution to enable a script for clients (local admins) to run some scripts on the switches/routers.

They can enable it by running the guestshell command. But, how can I configure an alias?

So that one 'keyword' enables the script.

Thank you

Hi,

On nexus switches you can simply use alias command:

switch(config)# cli alias name <alias-command> <real command>

Stay safe,

Sergiu

@_|brt.drml|_ totally guessing here - Create an EEM applet, which can actually run a Python script. Create the alias to run/exec something like

guestshell run python3 /home/guestshell/setup.py

Almost, thx for the help, but found a solution. How I searched for it in google changed the results and I found a config/

OSW-9300-BL(config)#alias exec ZEROSWITCH guestshell run python /flash/updateswitch.py
OSW-9300-BL(config)#end
OSW-9300-BL#ZEROSWITCH
