It is now maintained by `Leonidas Poulopoulos (@leopoul) ` and `Einar Nilsen-Nygaard (@einarnn)`. Docs: `http://ncclient.readthedocs.org `_ Github: `https://github.com/ncclient/ncclient `_ Requirements: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - Python 2.7 or Python 3.4+ - setuptools 0.6+ - Paramiko 1.7+ - lxml 3.3.0+ - libxml2 - libxslt If you are on Debian/Ubuntu install the following libs (via aptitude or apt-get): - libxml2-dev - libxslt1-dev Installation: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ :: [ncclient] $ sudo python setup.py install or via pip: :: pip install ncclient Examples: ^^^^^^^^^ :: [ncclient] $ python examples/juniper/*.py Usage ~~~~~ Get device running config ''''''''''''''''''''''''' Use either an interactive Python console (ipython) or integrate the following in your code: :: from ncclient import manager with manager.connect(host=host, port=830, username=user, hostkey_verify=False) as m: c = m.get_config(source='running').data_xml with open("%s.xml" % host, 'w') as f: f.write(c) As of 0.4.1 ncclient integrates Juniper's and Cisco's forks, lots of new concepts have been introduced that ease management of Juniper and Cisco devices respectively. The biggest change is the introduction of device handlers in connection paramms. For example to invoke Juniper's functions annd params one has to re-write the above with **device\_params={'name':'junos'}**: :: from ncclient import manager with manager.connect(host=host, port=830, username=user, hostkey_verify=False, device_params={'name':'junos'}) as m: c = m.get_config(source='running').data_xml with open("%s.xml" % host, 'w') as f: f.write(c) Device handlers are easy to implement and prove to be futureproof. Supported device handlers ''''''''''''''''''''''''' * Juniper: `device_params={'name':'junos'}` * Cisco: - CSR: `device_params={'name':'csr'}` - Nexus: `device_params={'name':'nexus'}` [FILE:101:distinfo] f9f8cea8bcbe057e1b948b9cd1b241eafb8a3f73c4981fbdfa1cc6ed69c0a7b3 105739 ncclient-0.6.13.tar.gz
