Layer1_NetworkHealthCheck

Python Code that allows Network Engineers to run through their IOS,IOSXE and NXOS infrsatructure for layer 1 issues using pyats libraries.

Overview

Device/Interface Health:

The idea of the health check is to provide visibility into possible layer 1 problems within the network. The combination of the output CLI commands "show interface status" , "show etherchannel summary", and "show interfaces" would provide insights to interfaces not up and error counters on the interfaces.

Python

The script is written in python using parsers from the genie library to convert cli output into structured data

Genie

Output: The results of the CLI commands are stored in simple .txt file: (L1.txt)
