ShowCollector

Simple script to do a show command on a bunch of Cisco IOS or NX-OS switches and create files that capture the output.

The script requires Python3 and netmiko to automatically install the dependecies do: pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Usage:

ShowCollector.py with the following parameters:

• --user [username to login in the switches]
• --password [cleartext password | ask]
• --switch [hostname | ip address | "," separated list of values | file.txt with switches in rows]
• --type [switch type nxos | ios]
• --command [the show command to execute between ""]

The script gives output in individual files using the switch name + the command.

Examples:

• ShowCollector.py --user john --password C1sco12345 --switch 1.1.1.1 --type nxos --command "show version"

• ShowCollector.py --user john --password ask --switch 1.1.1.1,2.2.2.2 -type ios --command "show running-config"

• ShowCollector.py --user john --password C1sco12345 --switch list.txt -type nxos --command "show ip bgp neighbor"
