pyhaab 4.0.0

Cisco switch inventory collector – update in place

PyHaab

PyHaab is a Cisco-switch inventory collector that connects over SSH, scrapes interface/VLAN/device-tracking information, and updates a single Excel workbook in place.
It is the spiritual successor of inventory_script.py, repackaged as a proper Python library with both CLI and importable API.
