* based on the work of @haught mentioned in #754
* added some missing ASA.pm improvements from dc9feb747f..b58a62f300
* separate module for now since it's untested, if confirmed working
by ASA owners it can replace the original ASA.pm
* $ssh->capture() aka. directly executing a command via
ssh <device> <command> does not seem to work on NXOS7, maybe
also others
* changed this module to use Expect, successfully tested on
NXOS6 - NXOS9
* The previous module only worked for 32-bit IOSXR, and already
there some fiddling with the STDIN of the process was required
when being run from netdisco-backend
* In 64-bit IOSXR, the STDIN workaround stopped working and
created a stuck ssh process on every arpnip
* This new version uses Expect instead of plain SSH, so a proper
pty is provided under any circumstances
* Successfully tested on recent 32- and 64-bit variants
This module works for Extreme (formerly Avaya) VSP switches running the
VOSS operating system. When using multiple VRFs, the default Arpnip does
not work.
The way to query the ARP tables of different VRFs is to append "::X" to
the end of the SNMP community string, where "X" is the VRF ID number.
Since Netdisco doesn't support querying with multiple community strings
at this time, this module uses SSH to query the ARP tables of all the
VRFs by default or select VRFs using the "vrfs" key in "device_auth"
(see documentation in the module for an example).
* Embedded # characters in the output for show names cause sshcollector not to collect any ARP entries on the ASA platform, since the $prompt variable matches in the middle of the output. Fix is to modify $prompt to match end-of-line.
* Changing the terminal pager length should be done before sending show names instead of after.
* Matching on IP address to see if a name needs to be mapped should include start and end field markers, in the event that the name returned from "show arp" embeds an IP address (eg, "abc1.2.3.4xyz")
The PAN CLI tries to do friendly auto-completion things and makes the SSH
Collector fail sporadically. This change uses the "set cli scripting-mode on"
command to calm down the PAN CLI and works around the extra echoed prompts that
get sent.
This change also adds collection of IPv6 neighbor information.
