Ping Network Devices with Python Script

Hi,

In this post, I'm going to introduce you how to ping network device using Python script.

import subprocess
online = []
offline=[]
with open("ip_list.txt","r") as file:
    ip_adresses=file.read().split("\n")
for ip in ip_adresses:
    send_ping = subprocess.call('ping %s -n 4 '% ip)
    if(send_ping) == 0:
        online.append(ip)
    else:
       offline.append(ip)
with open("reach.txt","w") as file:
    for x in online:
        file.write(x +"\n")
with open("not_reach.txt","w") as file:
    for y in offline:
        file.write(y +"\n")

That's all.
