So i have a python script that applies configs to devices and that part works no problem. The problem is when it hits an exception the script dies. I have looked at a bunch of python resources and I just can't figure it out. Any help would be awesome!
##imports python modules needed to work
from netmiko import ConnectHandler
import time, sys, getpass, paramiko
from netmiko.ssh_exception import NetMikoTimeoutException
from netmiko.ssh_exception import NetMikoAuthenticationException
##selects the correct Netmiko class based upon the device_type.
## I then define a network device dictionary consisting of a device_type, ip, username, and password.
user = ""
pword = ""
device = {
'device_type': 'cisco_ios',
#'ip': '192.168.43.10',
'username': user,
'password': pword,
#'secret':'password'
}
ipfile=open("iplist.txt") #This file contains a list of switch ip addresses.
#print ("Please doublecheck your configuration in the config file. Please stop and figure out what you're about to do...")
configfile=open("configfile.txt") #opening the config file with the changes you want to push
configset=configfile.read() ##reads the config file
configfile.close() #closes the config file
for line in ipfile:
device['ip']=line.strip()
print("Connecting to Device " + line)
net_connect = ConnectHandler(**device)
time.sleep(2)
print ("Applying Configuration to Device " + line)
output = net_connect.send_config_set(configset)
print(output)
