PLEASE NOTE - napalm() get_enviornment works perfectly fine with Junos and IOS-XE.

I suspect this is the same issue as: #1181

[hgandhi7760]

Hi there,
I was not sure about the network operating system version, my version is 6.2.3 and issue 1181 reported version as 6.3.3. If also suspect a parsing issue with napalm get_enviornment() module; but just to be sure i opened a new issue. If the issue is same, regardless of the network operating system version, feel free to mark this issue as resolved and i can follow issue # 1181. Thanks so much for the prompt response.
