fstorer don't worry I understand, I'm glad to help.

About the error, have you confirmed that the network is ok? I mean the session was established correctly but there could be a timeout so please increase the timeout option to see how it behaves. Could you try with a single command like help just to see if it is taking the command string correctly?

I don't think the format is a problem is should display something as I said in my comment in the script we may need to work on formatting that table.

Hi Erick A. Moreno R.

I was able to solve my problem thanks to this article: https://github.com/darkoperator/Posh-SSH/issues/146

Using New-SSHShellStream instead of Invoke-SSHCommand returned all the results I wanted.

I need to tweak the final script, but these are the commands I used:

$Credentials = Get-Credential

$session = New-SSHSession -ComputerName x.x.x.x -Credential $Credentials -AcceptKey

$SSHStream = New-SSHShellStream -SessionId 0

$SSHStream.WriteLine("show interface")

$SSHStream.read()

I hope this may be of some help!

Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate that! And thanks to the creator of "Posh-SSH" module!
