password = 'Pass1234'           # Password

cmd = 'date'                # Command to run on remote system

ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()
ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
ssh.connect(ip, port, username, password)

stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command(cmd)
outlines = stdout.readlines()
resp = ''.join(outlines)
print(resp)
