SAMPLE COMMAND OUTPUT

SUMMARY

There are two commands on Cisco XR to get the platform info; show platform and admin show platform. The template existing on ntc-templates is for show platform not admin show platform , however; the template name indicates it's for admin show platform show command. Therefore, the parsed output is incorrect.

admin show platform command output

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:R1#admin show platform

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

from pprint import pprint

from netmiko import ConnectHandler

device = {
    "device_type": "cisco_xr",
    "ip": "sandbox-iosxr-1.cisco.com",
    "username": "admin",
    "password": "C1sco12345",
    "fast_cli": False,
}

with ConnectHandler(**device) as conn:
    modules = conn.send_command(command_string="admin show platform", use_textfsm=True)
pprint(modules)

EXPECTED RESULTS

An illustration since there is no template that parses this properly just yet.

I guess the solution to this issue is to rename the cisco_xr_admin_show_platform.textfsm to cisco_xr_show_platform.textfsm and create a brand new template for cisco_xr_admin_show_platform.textfsm with the correct output of the revelant show command, if possible.

Thank you

Looks like we may need to update both. There may be differences between versions. So we should add to the admin show version a second match, similar to the show mac-address-table command sets to capture it both. And also create a new show platform.

I created a fix for this and updated the pattern in the index so the template can be used for either admin show platform or just show platform. Since there are optional regexes the show platform one had to come first.

I submitted PR #1783
