This script fetches configurations and version information from routers running Cisco IOS.
It should be useful either as a standalone tool, or as a single purpose tool to be included in automation workflows.
Multiple configuration items are separated by 40 '*' characters in a row on a line of their own.
Retrieve the running configuration via SSH:
python iosconfigfetch.py --host=10.0.1.1 --user=netadmin --pass=ciscopass --enable=supercisco
Retrieve the version via telnet:
python iosconfigfetch.py --host=10.0.55.3 --user=netman --pass=p4ssw0rd --enable=SEkr3T! --config=version -p telnet
Retrieve the startup and running configurations via SSH
python iosconfigfetch.py --host=myrouter.local --user=admin --pass=t3stp4ss --enable=abc123! --config=all-config
Retrieve the startup configuration via SSH and dump it to a file
python iosconfigfetch.py --host=myrouter.local --user=admin --pass=t3stp4ss --enable=abc123! --config=all-config -s > startup-config.ios
