ciscoospf2yaml - convert Cisco OSPF LSDB to YAML file

SYNOPSIS
ciscoospf2yaml [-B boundary] [-E external] [-h] [-H user@host] [-I selfid] [-N network] [-R router] [-S summary] [ospf.yaml]

DESCRIPTION
ciscoospf2yaml takes the OSPF link state database of a Cisco IOS router and converts it into a YAML file.

The several input files containing the LSDB can be passed via command line. If a file is not given, ssh to the router is invoked gather the information dynamically. For that the user "ospf" must be allowed to log into the Cisco router.

The options are as follows:

-B boundary
    File describing the AS boundary routers summary-LSAs. It can be obtained with show ip ospf database asbr-summary.

-E external
    File describing the AS-external-LSAs. It can be obtained with show ip ospf database external.

-h  Show help message and exit.

-H user@host
    The specified user and host are used for ssh login otherwise "cisco" is used as host name.

-I selfid
    File describing the router from witch the LSDB has been taken. It can be obtained with show ip ospf.

-N network
    File describing the network-LSAs. It can be obtained with show ip ospf database network.

-R router
    File describing the router-LSAs. It can be obtained with show ip ospf database router.
