How to Install

You can install napalm-huawei-vrp with pip:

pip install napalm-huawei-vrp

That will install napalm and huawei_vrp driver currently available.

How to upgrade

You can upgrade napalm-huawei-vrp with pip once the new version released:

pip install --upgrade napalm-huawei-vrp

check the package version.

pip list | grep napalm-huawei-vrp

Quick start

from napalm import get_network_driver
driver = get_network_driver('huawei_vrp')
device = driver(hostname='192.168.76.10', username='admin', password='this_is_not_a_secure_password')
device.open()

# Send Any CLI command
send_command = device.cli(['dis version'])

#  Return general device information
get_facts = device.get_facts()
print(get_facts)

# other API
device.get_config()
device.get_arp_table()
device.get_mac_address_table()
device.get_interfaces()
device.get_interfaces_ip()
device.get_interfaces_counters()
device.get_lldp_neighbors()
