Test Netconf over Serial against a VSRX VM - the serial_port should change to whatever 'socat -d -d unix-connect:/tmp/socketname pty' tells you

get-inventory-serial.rb

require 'net/netconf/jnpr/serial'

puts "NETCONF v.#{Netconf::VERSION}"

serial_port = '/dev/pts/1'

login = { port: serial_port,
          username: "netdevops", 
          password: "netdevops1" }

puts "Connecting to SERIAL: #{serial_port} ... please wait."

Netconf::Serial.new( login ){ |dev|
  
  puts "Connected."
  puts "Nabbing Inventory ..."

  inv = dev.rpc.get_chassis_inventory      
  
  puts "Chassis: " + inv.xpath('chassis/description').text
  puts "Chassis Serial-Number: " + inv.xpath('chassis/serial-number').text
