Paramiko capturing command output

Question

I have an issue that has been giving me a headache for a few days. I am using the Paramiko module with Python 2.7.10 and I\'d like to issue multiple commands to a Brocade ro

Answer 1

After reading all of the comment I have made the following changes:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import paramiko, time

router = 'r2.test.example.com'
password = 'password'
username = 'testuser'

ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()
ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
ssh.connect(router, username=username, password=password)
print('Successfully connected to %s' % router)

remote_conn = ssh.invoke_shell()
output = remote_conn.recv(1000)

# Disable paging on Brocade.
remote_conn.send('terminal length 0\n')
time.sleep(2)
# Clearing output.
if remote_conn.recv_ready():
    output = remote_conn.recv(1000)

# Check interface status.
remote_conn.send('show interfaces ethernet 4/1\n') # I only want output from this command.
time.sleep(2)
# Getting output I want.
if remote_conn.recv_ready():
    output = remote_conn.recv(5000)
print(output)

# Test: Check if interface is up.
for line in output.split('\n'):
    if 'line protocol is up' in line:
        print(line)

Everything works great now.

Thank you for all the help.

Best regards,
