This is an off-box Python script that uses ncclient to get the ENTITY-MIB tree from a device and print it as "pretty" XML.
For example:
$ nc_entity.py -a 10.1.1.1 -u admin -p admin --port 830
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<data xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0" xmlns:nc="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
<ENTITY-MIB xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:smiv2:ENTITY-MIB">
<entityGeneral>
<entLastChangeTime>114619</entLastChangeTime>
</entityGeneral>
<entPhysicalTable>
<entPhysicalEntry>
<entPhysicalIndex>1</entPhysicalIndex>
<entPhysicalDescr>Cisco CSR1000V Chassis</entPhysicalDescr>
<entPhysicalVendorType>1.3.6.1.4.1.9.12.3.1.3.1165</entPhysicalVendorType>
<entPhysicalContainedIn>0</entPhysicalContainedIn>
...
This script has been tested with Python 2.7, and requires the following non-default module(s):
- ncclient (pip install ncclient)
This script also requires SNMP to be enabled on the target device. Use the configuration command
netconf-yang cisco-ia snmp-community-string COMMUNITY to set the NETCONF community string to
be the same as the read-only string you use on your device. Note: SNMPv3 is not supported.
