Napalm-arubaoss

Driver implementation for Aruba OS Switch. Tested in AOS > WC.16.09.0004, some modules may not work properly in older versions.

** Incomplete support for load merge, configuration is directly pushed to the running config. Not recommended, use with precaution !!!

*** No easy way to get this. API does not support it and there's no single command to display it for all ports

Getting Started

Prerequisites

The following software is required:

• Python3
• Pip
• Python modules specified in requirements.txt

Installing

To install simply run:

pip3 install napalm-arubaos-switch

Switch configuration

This driver relies exclusively on the REST API of Aruba Switches, and it needs to be enabled beforehand. To enable the REST API in the switch, just run:

web-management ssl
rest-interface
rest-interface session-idle-timeout 120 #optional

optional_args

optional_args can be set during initialization like this:

from napalm import get_network_driver

d = get_network_driver("arubaoss")

with d('1.2.3.4', 'username', 'password', optional_args={'ssl_verify': False, "debugging": True}) as aruba:
   print(aruba.get_config())

The following values can be set in optional_args:

• ssl_verify: bool/str = defaults to True - will be passed to the requests object (description can be found here)
• keepalive: bool = defaults to False - sets the underlying TCP connection to either keep the connection or not and is a workaround for an issue with ArubaOS devices (discussed here)
• keep_alive: bool = same as keepalive, just shadows it to be able to use the same keyword as in older Python requests versions
• debugging: bool = defaults to False - sets the level of the logging handler to logging.DEBUG
• disable_ssl_warnings: bool = defaults to False - disables ssl warnings from urllib3
• api: string = defaults to v6 - defines the API version
• ssl: bool = defaults to True, sets http or https

Saltstack

To use the driver with Saltstack, you would typically need a proxy minion.

Proxy minion configuration:

Example pillar's config:

proxy:
  proxytype: napalm
  driver: arubaoss
  host: 192.0.2.1
  username: manager
  password: manager

Proxy /etc/salt/proxy

master: lab-salt-master
mine_enabled: true # not required, but nice to have

Supported Salt execution modules

• grains.items
• net.arp
• net.mac
• net.ipaddrs
• net.lldp
• net.facts
• net.ping
• net.traceroute
• route.show
• net.cli
• net.config
• net.load_config
• net.compare_config
• net.load_template ( Issue #18)
• net.discard_config
• ntp.servers
• napalm.compliance_report
