napalm-hpe-aruba-procurve

NAPALM driver for HPE / Aruba ProCurve switches — from ancient 2520G-8-PoE to modern 2530/2540 series.

Transport auto-detection

The driver probes transports in order and uses the first one that succeeds:

Override the transport with optional_args={"transport": "ssh_legacy"} to skip auto-detection.

Switch prerequisites

REST API (newer switches, e.g. 2530, 2540)

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

SSH (all ProCurve)

crypto key generate ssh rsa
ip ssh

Telnet is enabled by default on most ProCurve switches.

Installation

pip install napalm napalm-hpe-aruba-procurve

Or from source:

git clone https://git.netork.io/NAPALM/napalm-hpe-aruba-procurve
pip install -e napalm-hpe-aruba-procurve/

Quick start

from napalm import get_network_driver

Driver = get_network_driver("procurve")

with Driver(
    "10.0.0.1",
    "manager",
    "secret",
    optional_args={
        # "transport": "ssh",          # force transport (api/ssh/ssh_legacy/telnet)
        # "port": 22,
        # "ssl_verify": False,         # disable SSL cert check for API
        # "api_version": "v7",         # API version hint (v3/v6/v7)
        # "secret": "enablepassword",  # enable password for CLI
    },
) as dev:
    print(dev.get_facts())
    print(dev.get_interfaces())
