Dohost returns only few lines

[lemontree_61089]

Hi,

I cam accross a strange issue using guestshell and dohost: the dohost feature only retuns few lines. Have a look:

guestshell@guestshell ~]$ dohost "sh ver"

Cisco IOS XE Software, Version 16.06.01

[guestshell@guestshell ~]$ dohost "sh run"

Building configuration...

[guestshell@guestshell ~]$

Same if using python directly :

[guestshell@guestshell ~]$ python

Python 2.7.5 (default, Aug  4 2017, 00:39:18)

[GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-16)] on linux2

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> from cli import *

>>> clip("sh run")

Building configuration...

>>>

So dohost seems to be able to connect but only can retrieve few informations.

If you guys have an idea about what is causing the issue, be my guest

I am using a CSR1000V deployed on AWS, running 16.06.01

After running the same command, I was able to retrieve a full configuration.

[guestshell@guestshell ~]$ dohost "sh ver"

* Reminder you will need to enable IOx and guestshell prior to doing this. I also had to run the following before getting guestshell to enable:

app-hosting appid guestshell
 vnic management guest-interface 0
