Powershell to run CLI Command

edroche3rd — Tue, 28 Jan 2025 17:21:16 GMT

Hi All!

I am putting together a PowerShell script to see what IPs are listed in the DoS Block Table. The command (debug dataplane show dos block-table) keeps timing out with the error

"Error executing command 'show config running'. Error: Exception calling "EndExecute" with "1" argument(s): "Command 'show config ru
nning' has timed out."

Below is the script. Any help would be much appreciated

Script:

# Import the Posh-SSH module
Import-Module Posh-SSH
clear
# Define connection details
$PaloAltoIP = "<ip address>" # Replace with your Palo Alto's IP address
$Username = "<userid>" # Replace with your username
$Password = "<password>" # Replace with your password

# Commands to execute
$Commands = @(
#"show config running
"debug dataplane show dos block-table" # Example command to show system information

)

# Establish an SSH session
try {
Write-Host "Establishing SSH connection to $PaloAltoIP..." -ForegroundColor Green
$SSHSession = New-SSHSession -ComputerName $PaloAltoIP -Credential (New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($Username, (ConvertTo-SecureString $Password -AsPlainText -Force))) -AcceptKey
Write-Host "Connection established." -ForegroundColor Green
} catch {
Write-Host "Failed to connect to $PaloAltoIP. Error: $_" -ForegroundColor Red
exit
}

# Execute commands
foreach ($Command in $Commands) {
Write-Host "Executing command: $Command" -ForegroundColor Yellow
try {
$Result = Invoke-SSHCommand -SSHSession $SSHSession -Command $Command -TimeOut 20
Write-Host "Command output:" -ForegroundColor Cyan
Write-Output $Result.Output
} catch {
Write-Host "Error executing command '$Command'. Error: $_" -ForegroundColor Red
}
}

# Close the SSH session
Write-Host "Closing SSH session..." -ForegroundColor Green
Remove-SSHSession -SSHSession $SSHSession
Write-Host "SSH session closed." -ForegroundColor Green
