Python Custom Script - EMG CLI Session
An example of a Python Custom Script that uses the Pexpect module to interact with the CLI
session and the device ports to detect the prompt on any devices connected to the EMG, and set
the device port name to be the same as the device prompt:
#! python
# Script to detect the prompt on a device connected to an EMG device
port,
# and set the device port name to the prompt. Punctuation characters are
# removed and the device port number is appended to the name. Prompts
ending
# in '>' are detected. For example, for a Cisco device attached to device
# port 3 and displays this prompt:
# engcisco_cat3560>
# the name for device port 3 will be set to "engcisco_cat3560-3"
