This repository contains my python script examples, which are explained in more detail at the Coding Networker Blog.
The following examples are included in this repository:
- Parse CLI outputs with TextFSM - This post describes how to parse CLI outputs using TextFSM. Within the an example, I work with multiple "show inventory" commands from a Cisco IOS device in a single text file.
- Configuration generator with python and Jinja2 - This post describes, how to build a simple configuration generator using python and Jinja2. I'll explain it using CSV and JSON based parameter files.
- Cisco NX-API on Nexus 5500 - This post gives you a short introduction to the Cisco NX-API on Nexus 5500 with NX-OS 7.2
- Custom filters for a Jinja2 based config generator - In this post, I'll explain how to include custom filters in Jinja2 and how to use them within the configuration templates
- Implement HSRP using ciscoconfparse - This post describes an example to create a configuration for HSRP based on an existing Cisco IOS configuration using the ciscoconfparse module
- python dictionaries and JSON (crash course) - Just a quick crash course about the use of python dictionaries and the JSON data format
- HTTP calls using the python requests library - How to use the requests library in python based on the example code from the Cisco NX-API post ("interface description cleaner")
- Reconfigure static ARP entries using ciscoconfparse - This post describes how to parse an existing configuration and reconfigure it using the example of static ARP entries (from Cisco VSS to Cisco vPC)
- Introduction to the python ipaddress module - quick introduction to the python ipaddress module
In the post about Vagrant you can find a description how to execute the examples without affecting your current environment. This Vagrant VM also contains a pre-configured Jupyter environment, which is described in more detail in the post about Jupyter: an interactive web-based python shell.
