Please, Krishna, how can I use this script? On what device and what are the prerequisites?

[KrishnaTiwari8030]

Hi @liviu000111 Greetings. There is not prerequisite, Just install python on machine with any IDE and and run the given script to access your Cisco routers and switches and your are set. But its good to have some basic understanding of python to understand the script and optimize as per your need.

Thanks
