Currently I am taking bgp route backup using paramiko (python script)  by running show ip bgp and show ip route commands on the switches and the output is stored in linux server. How to use that as the testbed file for genie and then compare with current state of bgp and ip route tables?

Hi SreekaanthGanesan3775,

Great Question!

Genie comes pre loaded with commands like "genie create testbed" which will give you a terminal prompt to enter in the hostname, IP address, device credentials to create a testbed file in .yaml.

Once you have your testbed file created you can connect to it then learn the BGP profile with the command "genie learn bgp --testbed-file ['devicename'] --output afilenamehere"

You can then run "genie diff" to use genie to compare between different operation states.

Genie has some great Documentation listed at developer.cisco.com which I encourage you to check out!
