Save config on Maipu switch

[brancott]

Hi guys! What is the ringt way to save running config on Maipu? 'net_connect.save_config()' doesn't do the trick. I managed to save config this way:

    output = net_connect.send_command_timing(
        "wr",
        strip_prompt=False,
        strip_command=False
    )
    if 'Are you sure to overwrite /flash/startup (Yes|No)?' in output:
        output += net_connect.send_command_timing(
            command_string="y",
            strip_prompt=False,
            strip_command=False
        )

But is there an easier way?

Here is the current Maipu save_config() method:

Is this prompting typing or does it only occur in special cases?

Are you sure to overwrite /flash/startup (Yes|No)

You can probably also do:

net_connect.save_config(cmd="write", confirm=False, confirm_response="y")

Hi @ktbyers, it always asks 'Are you sure to overwrite /flash/startup (Yes|No)', and output from 'net_connect.save_config(cmd="write", confirm=False, confirm_response="y")' gives same result as just 'net_connect.save_config()':

ktbyers means you could exec save_config method and input your args

output = net_connect.send_command_timing(
        "wr",
        strip_prompt=False,
        strip_command=False
    )
    if 'Are you sure to overwrite /flash/startup (Yes|No)?' in output:
        output += net_connect.send_command_timing(
            command_string="y",
            strip_prompt=False,
            strip_command=False
        )

=>

output = net_connect.save_config(cmd="write", confirm=False, confirm_response="y")

Works with net_connect.save_config(cmd="write", confirm=True, confirm_response="y")
