RP/0/RP0#run

[xr-vm_node0_RP0_CPU0:~]$df

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on

[xr-vm_node0_RP0_CPU0:~]$

Using python: I am able to run show commands using Connecthandler .send.command:

from netmiko import ConnectHandler
import subprocess
Network_Device = {"host": "10.111.22.333", "username": "USER123", "password": "Pass123",     "device_type": "cisco_xr",}

Connect = ConnectHandler(**Network_Device)
Connect.enable()
version1 = "show version"
print(Connect.send_command(version1))

But not able to run 'df' or 'ls' commands, as not able to reach bash prompt i reach by running 'run' command on router.

I tried:

disk1files = subprocess.run("df", stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
print(disk1files.stdout.decode())

But seems its wrong. Please suggest the right library or code I can use here.

This is my first question here, so bear some silly questions or mistakes done in code

if on DF you are referring to "Don't fragment" then it is posible to send it like

Connect.send_command("ping 192.168.10.10 df-bit size 1600")

where 1600 represents MTU, and for ls commands is link command,

Connect.send_command("ls-active") 
Connect.send_command("ls-active-enabled")

but if you are referring to df and ls in linux (disk free and list files..) then you can use os module for sending commands:

import os
os.system("ls -l")

or use call from subprocess module:

from subprocess import call
call(["ls", "-l"])

If you need to acccess cisco bash:

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# feature bash-shell
switch# run?
  run         Execute/run program
  run-script  Run shell scripts

switch# run bash?
  bash  Linux-bash

switch# run bash 
bash-4.2$ whoami
admin
bash-4.2$ pwd
/bootflash/home/admin
bash-4.2$
