pyats-shell: Open pyATS shell with a defined Testbed file.
$ pyats shell --testbed-file ${path-to-testbed-yaml}
try on your machine
The command "pyats shell --testbed-file ${path-to-testbed-yaml}" is used to open a Python command-line shell with the pyATS framework loaded, using the specified testbed YAML file.
Here's a breakdown of the command and its components:
- "pyats" refers to the pyATS (Python Automation Test Framework) CLI tool.
- "shell" is a subcommand that launches the pyATS shell environment.
- "--testbed-file" is a flag used to specify the path to the testbed YAML file.
- "${path-to-testbed-yaml}" is a placeholder that represents the actual file path to the testbed YAML. You need to replace it with the correct path on your system.
When you run this command, pyATS will load the specified testbed YAML file, which contains information about the devices you want to interact with. The shell environment will then be initiated, allowing you to interact with the devices using Python and the pyATS framework. This can be useful for performing network automation tasks, performing tests, gathering device information, or executing any pyATS supported operations on the specified devices.
