aiovty
is an asynchronous implementation of the VTY protocol.
Install the last released version using pip
:
python3 -m pip install --user -U aiovty
Or install the latest version from sources:
git clone git@github.com:matan1008/aiovty.git
cd aiovty
python3 -m pip install --user -U -e .
To create a client, you need to supply the server's prompt name (e.g. 'Router'
):
from aiovty import AioVtyClient
vty = AioVtyClient('Router')
Then you can connect giving address:
connection_string = await vty.connect('127.0.0.1', 23)
Note that connecting returns the "connection string", which is the data sent before the first prompt.
After connection you can send your command:
command_response = await vty.command(b'show ip')
You can also enter enabled mode:
await vty.enable()
And initialize a configure terminal:
await vty.configure_terminal()
await vty.command(b'router rip')
print(vty.node) # Prints `config-router`
