Netdev

Asynchronous multi-vendor library for interacting with network devices

Inspired by netmiko

Requires:

• asyncio

• AsyncSSH

• Python >=3.5

• pyYAML

Supports:

• Cisco IOS

• Cisco IOS XE

• Cisco IOS XR

• Cisco ASA

• Cisco NX-OS

• HP Comware (like V1910 too)

• Fujitsu Blade Switches

• Mikrotik RouterOS

• Arista EOS

• Juniper JunOS

• Aruba AOS 6.X

• Aruba AOS 8.X

• Terminal

Examples:

Example of interacting with Cisco IOS devices:

import asyncio
import netdev

async def task(param):
    async with netdev.create(**param) as ios:
        # Testing sending simple command
        out = await ios.send_command("show ver")
        print(out)
        # Testing sending configuration set
        commands = ["line console 0", "exit"]
        out = await ios.send_config_set(commands)
        print(out)
        # Testing sending simple command with long output
        out = await ios.send_command("show run")
        print(out)
        # Testing interactive dialog
        out = await ios.send_command("conf", pattern=r'\[terminal\]\?', strip_command=False)
        out += await ios.send_command("term", strip_command=False)
        out += await ios.send_command("exit", strip_command=False, strip_prompt=False)
        print(out)


async def run():
    dev1 = { 'username' : 'user',
             'password' : 'pass',
             'device_type': 'cisco_ios',
             'host': 'ip address',
    }
    dev2 = { 'username' : 'user',
             'password' : 'pass',
             'device_type': 'cisco_ios',
             'host': 'ip address',
    }
    devices = [dev1, dev2]
    tasks = [task(dev) for dev in devices]
    await asyncio.wait(tasks)


loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(run())
