Current method which sends
config system console
,show full-configuration
,end
commands in order to parse the set output mode has a limitation to run the commands with a user which has a global configuration permission.When a RO user tries to create a connection "show full-configuration" commands run without entering the console section and displays full configuration of the system. prompt_pattern which was used to find the end of the output is not suitable to parse the set output mode from full device configuration. In this situation netmiko raises below error.
ValueError("Unable to determine the output mode on the Fortinet device.")
show full-configuration system console
command produces the expected result as the original commands as RO user can create a successful connection.
