README

This idea was born because of a need for a simple tool to generate a network topology out of the information obtained from the output of show router interface command.

Setup

System Libraries

These libraries have been tested under Ubuntu 20.04 and Windows10 with Python3.8.

Ubuntu

pip3 install getTopo

Windows

For Windows users, make sure you have Python and PIP installed.

py -m pip install getTopo

Usage

1. Getting data To obatain the data, use taskAutom where the plugin uses only the show router inteface command.

Example: taskAutom -d data -py plugin -j 2

2. Parse the outputs with logChecker using as input folder, the one generated at step 1.

Example: logChecker -tf folder_of_templates/ -pre folder_step_1

3. Generate the topology. logChecker at step 2. will generate an Excel file with the parsed content. Use that as input.

Example: logToTopo -xf excel_step_2 -xs sheet_name.
