pyATS/Genie Can it parse a config?

[rwill0ncgov]

Hi all,

Simple question. I see pyATS/Genie parsing support for many, many show commands. Does it work on the config file itself? Can it parse a router IOS runnig config text file? NX-OS? ASA ?

Regards,

Rick

Hi @rwill0ncgov 

Yes, pyATS|Genie includes tools to capture the config of an devices (ios-xe, nxos, xr) and compare that config to different snapshots.

You can take a look on how to use it here: https://developer.cisco.com/codeexchange/github/repo/hpreston/genie-config-diff 

You can also read more about it on the get started with pyATS page: https://developer.cisco.com/docs/pyats-getting-started/ 

Stay safe,

Sergiu

@Sergiu.Daniluk  Can pyATS parse the show run config similar to what TTP is doing ?

Thanks
