I've been leveraging the command runner API to gather data on our network for analysis/parsing via python. In most instances I am able to use piped commands "show run | inc interface | description" or similar to retrieve data, pass into python, and parse for other actions such as template provisioning. I'm currently working on a script to identify ports that are not 802.1X compliant. I already have a template setup that will fix the problem, but I want a script that will identify who/what we will break before implementing.
At this time, I will not paste the script as I am still developing it and need to overcome the command "blacklist" issue but know that I can pipe commands as I have a separate command-runner script that I use for pre-parsing activities.
Question: Does Catalyst Center have a limit on the number of pipes a command can contain or a character limit?
Example command throwing errors: Show run | inc interface | description| switchport mode access| authentication open| authentication port-control auto|!
Thank you in advance.
