There is couple of ways of doing this and few libraries in python or Ansible. I am loading the switches IP in via a text file, but there is no reason
import netmiko
from textfsm import TextFSM
with open('Devices.txt') as switches:
for IP in switches:
Switch = {
'device_type': 'cisco_ios',
'ip': IP,
'username': 'user',
'password': 'password'
}
netconnect = ConnectHandler(**Switch)
print('-' * 79)
output = netconnect.send_command('show version', use_textfsm=True)
for i in output:
if i['software_version'] < '11.3(6)':
print(i['hostname'], i['software_version'])
print()
print('-' * 79)
netconnect.disconnect()
This line checks to see if the software version is less than 11.3(6). If the software version is less than 11.3(6), then the code will enter the if block.
if i['software_version'] < '11.3(6)':
But that said, if all your devices are in Orion, look at their SDK for Python. This project contains a python client for interacting with the SolarWinds Orion API https://github.com/solarwinds/orionsdk-python, then you are just sending a request to one device and parsing the information in the same way. There is an example here which would fetch all the nodes, https://github.com/solarwinds/orionsdk-python/blob/master/samples/query.py you should be able to use this and parse the information based on switch and version.
Hope this helps.
