Speed up Netmiko

[dlots]

Just figured I would throw this out there, all the code I have posted to date has used

Code Select Expand

output = net_connect.send_command(command)
Which seems to always take ~30 seconds

Today I learned about

Code Select Expand

output = net_connect.send_command_expect(command)
which cuts the time down quite abit on average.

thanks for the tip. Whats the difference other than speed? Why bother with the first at all then?

Haven't looked much @ Netmiko directly TBH, its just easier to leverage jedelmen's work and go straight to ansible core modules or NAPLAM etc.

I think the diffrence is that the 1st one just waits ~30 seconds, the 2ed one waits till it gets a command prompt i think.

Not 100% sure

I haven't looked at ansible, I'll take a look at it.  Thank you :-D
