How do I submit a command that does not have an RPC equivalent?  Support wants the output of "show system processes extensive" on multiple devices, but that CLI does not have an RPC equivalent...

Hi Mike,

You can use the device.cli() command for this.  In the rare instances of commands that do not have an RPC equivalent this the appropriate function.

With all the warnings about not using the device.cli except for debugging purposes, I wondered if there was a more “acceptable” method.

Any way to suppress the warning messages?

You can pass warning=False to the function.

Some commands work, for example, "restart snmp"; but some commands don't, an example as following, says "invalid command":
>>> dev.cli("request chassis fpc restart slot 1")
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/jnpr/junos/device.py:652: RuntimeWarning: CLI command is for debug use only!
  warnings.warn("CLI command is for debug use only!", RuntimeWarning)
'invalid command: request chassis fpc restart slot 1'

Would you please give some advice?

Thanks!

Hi Fang,

In that case, please share the output below command from your device of
> request chassis fpc restart slot 1

I am expecting this to error out. Hence PyEZ too is breaking.

Also for such command we have rpc
> request chassis fpc restart slot 1 | display xml rpc 
    <rpc>
        <request-chassis-fpc>
                <slot>1</slot>
                <restart/>
        </request-chassis-fpc>
    </rpc>

So you can call it in below manner (preferred way)

rsp = dev.rpc.request_chassis_fpc(slot='1', restart=True)
from lxml import etree
print etree.tostring(rsp)

Thanks
Nitin Kr
