Answer 1

I know this is late to post but may help others. I also struggled to get this right but here is my piece of code. My telnet would follow certain flow like it would ask for loginID and then Password and then you have to wait for a particular string to be displayed here,which for my case was "DB>" then you can proceed with the command and all. My output would be saved in "out" varible

import os,re,telnetlib
host = "10.xxx.xxx.xxx"
port = 23

telnet = telnetlib.Telnet()
telnet.open(host, port)
telnet.write('loginID\r\n')
telnet.write('Password\r\n')
out = telnet.read_until("DB>", 5)
telnet.write('show cable modem reg\r\n') #Mycommand
out = telnet.read_until("DB>", 5)
telnet.write('quit\r\n')
telnet.close()
