Request software status from CCO using Python

[Matthias.Geiger]

Hi,

I have created a Python script which ssh to a device (ios, nx-os, asa) and get the running software version (This is quite easy). Now it should go to the CCO to request any known notices (field notices, vulnerabilities, end-of-support announcements) for this version and upgrade recommendations. For this the script needs a kind of access to the CCO (api or similar) to send the request.

The script will proceed as follows:

• For each device:
  • Login to the device
  • Get platform and software version
  • Login to CCO
  • Request any known issues with this software
    • If there’s an issue request upgrade recommendation
  • Send out a report

Does anyone knows an API or similar ?

Many thanks.

Matthias,

you can do this using the below steps.

1) Login Devices and collect Current Version (you can use paramiko library)

2) Now using a current version and PID, you can find a vulnerability or other detail(EOD, Suggest upgraded ios...etc) using this Cisco API for more detail you can refer below link.
