[SOLVED] Parse through Cisco Config

Parse through Cisco Config

I been trying to write a Python script to go through 20 some cisco configurations.

So Far, I got a script to work on one config and it parsed out the interfaces that do not have 802.1x authentication* interface commands.

I'm having trouble removing the interface Tengig and interface vlan* from the list. What is the best way to do that? I tried the following ways below with no luck. Maybe I'm just using them wrong?

list.remove(Interface Vlan*) 

for item in list(NoDot1x):
  somelist.remove("Interface Vlan*")

Code:

    #Int Modules
    from ciscoconfparse import CiscoConfParse

    #Define what to Parse
    parse = CiscoConfParse("/home/jbowers/Configs/SwithConfig")

    #Define all Interfaces without Authentication * commands
    all_intfs = parse.find_objects(r"^interf")
    NoDot1x = list()
    NoDot1x = parse.find_objects_wo_child(r'^interface', r'authentication')

   #Display Results
   for obj in NoDot1x:
       print obj.text

   #Remove Uplinks
   for item in list(NoDot1x):
     somelist.remove("Interface Vlan*")

Here the output for #Display Results.

interface Port-channel1
interface FastEthernet1
interface GigabitEthernet1/1
interface TenGigabitEthernet5/1
interface TenGigabitEthernet5/2
interface TenGigabitEthernet5/3
interface TenGigabitEthernet5/4
interface TenGigabitEthernet5/5
interface TenGigabitEthernet5/6
interface TenGigabitEthernet5/7
interface TenGigabitEthernet5/8
interface TenGigabitEthernet6/1
interface TenGigabitEthernet6/2
interface TenGigabitEthernet6/3
interface TenGigabitEthernet6/4
interface TenGigabitEthernet6/5
interface TenGigabitEthernet6/6
interface TenGigabitEthernet6/7
interface TenGigabitEthernet6/8
interface GigabitEthernet7/23
interface GigabitEthernet8/17
interface GigabitEthernet9/2
interface Vlan1

Solution

The remove function offered by the list object in Python will attempt to find an exact match to the string entered and remove if found, if not it will error.

#Remove Uplinks
for item in list(NoDot1x):
 somelist.remove("Interface Vlan*")

The above will not utilize the wildcard character "*". I think you want something more like:

for item in list(NoDot1x):
 if "Interface Vlan" in item:
  somelist.remove(item)

If you need more complexity look at the re import.
