Parse a group of cisco switches, compile a list of IPs and interfaces, and then point a netmiko script to that new list. Possible?

I think my choice of words is correct. I want to take a group of switches and compile a list of Ip addresses and specific interfaces to have netmiko push commands to. For instance, scan all cisco switches and put together a list of all interfaces in vlan X and not being used. Can someone point me in the right direction of how to do this?

Sounds like you need to figure out the different steps to work out your solution.

Maybe something this:

  1. Connect to switch
  2. run show commands
  3. config interface to vlan xx

I don't see any code or anything you have attempted so far but here is a simple flow for looping through a list of IP addresses.

#Python 3.7
from netmiko import ConnectionHandler

username = "user"
password = "password"

for ip in IPlist: 
     # netmiko code profiles;
    cisco ={
       "host":IP,
       "username":username,
       "password":password,
       "device_type: "cisco_ios"
       }

   with ConnectHandler(**cisco) as ssh_conn:
       print(sshcon.find_prompt())
       # do stuff here.
