@davidbombal I am getting the similar problem and error when running the for loop script using myswitch file any suggestion ?

Traceback (most recent call last):

Port timeout is happening, can you normally telnet to the switches.

Hello,

I am new to Python coding and was following David's video on this script.
Even I am getting the same error.

Tried changing the HOST = line.strip() but in vain.

Below is my code:

import getpass
import sys
import telnetlib
import socket

fd = open("C:\Users\user\Desktop\PYTHON\HOME\IP_List.txt")

for line in fd:
user = "mandeep"
password = "cisco"
print "Configuring Routers: " + (line)
HOST = line
tn = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST)

tn.read_until("Username: ")
tn.write(user + "\n")
if password:
    tn.read_until("Password: ")
    tn.write(password + "\n")
	
tn.write("term len 0\n")
tn.write("sh ip int brief \n")
tn.write("exit\n")

print tn.read_all()
#print (output)

#with open("Health.csv", "wb") as f:
#f.write(output)

@Mandeep4code Check if it working with a single Host first.

Hello, Guys
Try using this form:

It is working for me.

   import getpass
   import telnetlib
   import sys

   user = raw_input("Enter your Telnet Username ")
   password = getpass.getpass()

   f = open('myrouters')
   all_ips = [x.rstrip() for x in f] 
   for line in all_ips:

	print ("Configuring Switch " + (line))
	HOST = line
	tn = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST)
	tn.read_until("Username: ")
	tn.write(user.encode('ascii') + "\n")

	if password:
		tn.read_until("Password: ")
		tn.write(password.encode('ascii') + "\n")

	tn.write("config t\n")

	for n in range (0,2):
		tn.write("interface loopback " + str(n) + "\n")
                tn.write("ip address 1.1." + str(n) + ".2 255.255.255.0\n")

	tn.write("end\n")
	tn.write("wr\n")
	tn.write("exit\n")
	print(tn.read_all().decode('ascii'))

I tried everything posted here still same error as martinhoeegh and dazzy099. I tried to manually telnet and it works. Even if I use the same code and with single ip address on the code without using the file open it works fine.
Can someone please help me

try HOST=line.strip() it worked for me

from pythonvideos.

Has anyone ever figured this out? I am having the same problem.

from pythonvideos.

i had the same issue,

HOST = line.strip() works

from pythonvideos.

Has anyone ever figured this out? I am having the same problem.

HOST = line.strip() works

from pythonvideos.

does anyone know why we have to use .strip() to get it working?

from pythonvideos.

To some one who landed to this page like how I did for the code that I was facing the issue.
In short :
HOST = line.strip() works

Here is the right script that works:
#!/usr/bin/env python

import getpass
import sys
import telnetlib

user = raw_input("Enter your username: ")
password = getpass.getpass()

f = open ('myswitches')

for line in f:
print "Configuring Switch " + (line)
HOST = line.strip()
tn = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST)

tn.read_until("Username: ")
tn.write(user + "\n")
if password:
    tn.read_until("Password: ")
    tn.write(password + "\n")

tn.write("conf t\n")

for n in range (2,26):
    tn.write("vlan " + str(n) + "\n")
    tn.write("name Python_VLAN_" + str(n) + "\n")

tn.write("end\n")
tn.write("exit\n")

print tn.read_all()
