failed escalating privilege from 'exec' to 'privilege_exec'

[zysm0]

Hi guys

I'm performing a course about Nornir and when i'm executing this script:

from nornir import InitNornir
from nornir_scrapli.tasks import send_command
from nornir_utils.plugins.functions import print_result

nr = InitNornir(config_file="config.yaml")

results = nr.run(task=send_command, command="show version")
print_result(results)

I get this error:

scrapli.exceptions.ScrapliAuthenticationFailed: failed escalating privilege from 'exec' to 'privilege_exec'. do you need to set an 'auth_secondary' password?

Really i don't understand where is the issue because i'm starting in this world of programming.

Thanks a lot!

you need to set auth_secondary under extras in your inventory. I'm assuming if/when you ssh to your device you end up at an exec (>) prompt. Scrapli needs to know the enable password.
