Okay, Managed to get it working thanks to this youtube channel. However, the powerconnect 8024F I am unable to authenticate with at the moment... Now the challenge of marrying up ports to IP address. This was the script:
from netmiko import ConnectHandler
from netmiko import NetmikoTimeoutException
from paramiko.ssh_exception import SSHException
from paramiko.ssh_exception import AuthenticationException
import time
import datetime
#Types:
#dell_dnos9
#dell_force10
#dell_isilon
#dell_os10
#dell_os6
#dell_os9
#dell_powerconnect
#dell_sonic
TNOW = datetime.datetime.now().replace(microsecond=0)
IP_LIST = open('DellNseries_devices') #just a file with the IP addresses
TNOW=TNOW.strftime("%d%b%Y")
for IP in IP_LIST:
print ('\n #### Connecting to the Switch '+ IP.strip() + ' #### \n' )
RTR = {
'ip': IP,
'username': 'username', #Set username
'password': 'password#', #Set password
'device_type': 'dell_os6',
}
try:
net_connect = ConnectHandler(**RTR)
except NetmikoTimeoutException:
print ('Device not reachable')
continue
except AuthenticationException:
print ('Failed to Authenticate')
continue
except SSHException:
print ("Make sure SSH is enabled in device.")
continue
print ('Initiating backup')
net_connect.enable()
output = net_connect.send_command('show startup-config')
IP=IP.strip()
SAVE_FILE = open(IP +'_'+TNOW,'w')
SAVE_FILE.write(output)
SAVE_FILE.close
print ('Exporting macaddress table')
output = net_connect.send_command('show mac address-table vlan 1')
SAVE_FILE = open(IP +'_'+TNOW+"MacTable",'w')
SAVE_FILE.write(output)
SAVE_FILE.close
print ('Exporting ARP for IP')
output = net_connect.send_command('show arp')
SAVE_FILE = open(IP +'_'+TNOW+"ARP",'w')
SAVE_FILE.write(output)
SAVE_FILE.close
Okay, I have a problem The MAC address shown to be plugged into the gigabit port is different the the mac address of the actual device. When I show arp, the device doesnt appear but when I ping the IP address it then shows in arp but the mac address table is still the wrong mac

Solution, make sure switchport loop guard is not enabled per interface.
