Add to the elements “fast_cli”: True, Will change the Global delay Factor. This will perform faster but any process requirement more time to process will become less reliable.   Reference : Python for Network Engineers

Trick to TSHOOT Netmiko Turn on Logging : import logging logging.basicConfig(filename=’log.log’, level=logging.DEBUG) log = logging.getLogger(‘netmiko’)  

This is an easy exemple of how to send a show command to multiple devices, this exemple is base on ‘cisco_ios’ device_type so for other like cisco_xr  and juniper_os dont forget the send_command.commit() from netmiko import Netmiko from getpass import…
