pyATS Genie Parsing bgp table on NXOS ACI

rchrdbkn — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 16:45:15 GMT

Hi all,

I'd like to parse multiple L3Out bgp table on my border leaf but I can't find any suitable command parser in genie. I've tried multiple commands that are on the parser list but none of them worked for me. Isn't it possible to parse ACI

"show bgp ipv4 unicast neighbors {neighbor} routes vrf {vrf}"

with Genie parser

"show bgp vrf {vrf} {address_family} neighbors {neighbor} routes"

as the output is the same of those commands.

Or which is the genie supported command on ACI v6.0 to get a bgp peer's routes?

Thx.

If there is no genie parser suitable for your command, you can duplicate the existing one and make a custom parser.
In my case, you can check the parser index in /home/username/.pyenv/versions/python_env_name/lib/python3.8/site-packages/genie/libs/parser/parsers.json

Thanks, this is very useful and I'll look into it. I was checking those parsers too but only the python code side. I wanted to tailor the code for my need but I was missing something. Possibly this parsers.json.

I was also checking alternative possibilities to achieve my goal and I found out that there is a Tabular parser in genie which almost give the same result.
