task: napalm_cli

napalm_cli exposes napalm’s method cli.

Example:

from nornir import InitNornir
from nornir_napalm.plugins.tasks import napalm_cli

nr = InitNornir(
    inventory={
        "plugin": "SimpleInventory",
        "options": {
            "host_file": "inventory/hosts.yaml",
            "group_file": "inventory/groups.yaml",
            "defaults_file": "inventory/defaults.yaml",
        }
    },
    dry_run=True,
)

result = nr.run(napalm_cli, commands=["show version", "show interfaces"])

print(result["rtr00"][0].result["show version"])
