Netmiko giving some issues while using send_config_set

[vishnu9094]

I am having a simple code of sending a config to the router.

Setup : Network Automation tool ---------------- Router 1

Configuration :

from netmiko import ConnectHandler

iosvl2 = {
    'device_type' : 'cisco_ios',
    'ip':'192.168.122.10',
    'username':'network',
    'password':'rhinos',
}

connect=ConnectHandler(**iosvl2)
output=connect.send_command("show ip interface brief")
print(output)

config_command=['interface lo0','ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255']
output=connect.send_config_set(config_command)
print(output)

Below is my output `root@NetworkAutomation-1:~# python3 netmiko1.py Interface IP-Address OK?

Does the account you are logging in with have permissions to change the configuration (i.e. privilege level 15)?

If not, you need to add a secret argument to your ConnectHandler dictionary and call the enable() method

[vishnu9094]

It has privileged 15, i have tried them.

Okay, I will need to see the output of your log file when this error happens:

@vishnu9094 Any update on providing the log file output?

Hi, I have the same issue and logs are as foloowing.

@narayanankl I don't see the log file (the only thing above is the exception stack trace):

I need the following:

test_log.txt

@ktbyers , thanks for your response, please see the attached log for your reference.

[narayanankl]

@ktbyers , thanks for your guidance, the log helped me to identify the issue.

Issue was related to privilege mode.

adding below the two statemests helped me to run my first basic script successful.

1. net_connect.enable()
2. 'secret': 'test123' +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

from netmiko import ConnectHandler import logging logging.basicConfig(filename='test.log', level=logging.DEBUG) logger = logging.getLogger("netmiko")

ios_l2 = {'device_type': 'cisco_ios', 'ip': '192.168.122.200', 'username': 'test', 'password': 'test123', 'secret': 'test123'}

net_connect = ConnectHandler(**ios_l2) output = net_connect.send_command('show ip int brief') print(output) net_connect.enable() config_commands = ['int lo 200'] output = net_connect.send_config_set(config_commands) print(output)
