Description
I am attempting to connect to one of my network switches via ssh and just run the command ping www.google.com but get the following error:
node index.js
Ping Completed
(node:56662) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: invalid command www.google.com.
...
My config:
ssh
.connect({
host: "172.35.0.2",
username: "admin",
port: 22,
password,
// debug: console.log,
algorithms: {
kex: [

"ecdh-sha2-nistp256",
"ecdh-sha2-nistp384",
"ecdh-sha2-nistp521",

"diffie-hellman-group14-sha1",
],

],
hmac: ["hmac-sha2-256", "hmac-sha2-512", "hmac-sha1"],
},
})
.then(() => {
ssh
.execCommand("ping www.google.com", { options: { pty: true } })
.then((result) => {
console.log("STDOUT: " + result.stdout);
console.log("STDERR: " + result.stderr);
});
})
.then(
function () {
console.log("Ping Completed");
},
function (error) {
console.log("Something's wrong");
console.log(error);
}
);
What am I doing wrong?
I am able to manually connect to the switch and run ping successfully:
olt-lab-01# ping www.google.com

Research direction
Start with the supplied index.js example and trace the execCommand("ping www.google.com") entry point in node-ssh. Check how the command and its arguments are sent to the switch, then compare the returned error with the manual session. Done means the reproduction is explained and the behavior or usage is verified.
