Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5
##### Requires: ##### Paramiko >= 1.13+ ( >=1.7.5+ if Python2) scp >= 0.10.0 pytest (for unit tests) pyyaml (for unit tests)
##### Supports: ##### Cisco IOS Cisco IOS-XE Cisco ASA Cisco NX-OS Cisco IOS-XR Cisco WLC (limited testing) Arista vEOS HP ProCurve HP Comware (limited testing) Juniper Junos Brocade VDX (limited testing) F5 LTM (experimental) Huawei (limited testing) A10 (limited testing) Avaya ERS (limited testing) Avaya VSP (limited testing) OVS (experimental) Enterasys (experimental) Extreme (experiemental) Fortinet (experimental) Alcatel-Lucent SR-OS (experimental)
##### More detailed example: ##### See https://pynet.twb-tech.com/blog/automation/netmiko.html
##### Simple example: #####
>>> from netmiko import ConnectHandler
# Create a dictionary representing the device.
>>> cisco_881 = {
... 'device_type': 'cisco_ios',
... 'ip': '10.10.10.10',
... 'username': 'test',
... 'password': 'password',
... 'port' : 8022, # optional, defaults to 22
... 'secret': 'secret', # optional, defaults to ''
... 'verbose': False, # optional, defaults to True
... }
# Supported device_types can be found at:
# https://github.com/ktbyers/netmiko/blob/master/netmiko/ssh_dispatcher.py
# (see CLASS_MAPPER keys)
# Establish an SSH connection to the device by passing in the device dictionary.
>>> net_connect = ConnectHandler(**cisco_881)
# Execute show commands on the channel:
>>> output = net_connect.send_command('show ip int brief')
>>> print output

>>> output = net_connect.send_config_set(config_commands)
>>> print output

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
