0Question: As a Network Administrator, one of my trainee wants to know the below:
He has certain number of Machines(IP’s). On daily basic he wants to know how many IP’s are reachable and how many are not.
By using python Subprocess library we can attain this:
Sample script:
import subprocess
# Generate the list of IP address to verify the reachability
a=["10.126.172.170","10.126.172.88","1.1.1.1","10.126.172.89"]
result = {}
for i in a:
print("====== PING Status of %s ======="%i)
process = subprocess.Popen
('ping %s'%i,shell=True,stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stderr=subprocess.PIPE )
output=process.communicate()[0]
print (output)
if '(100% loss)' in output:
result[i]='Not reachable'
elif '(0% loss)' in output:
result[i]='Reachable' print ("======== FINAL RESULT =============\n") print(result) print("\n=========================================")
