netmiko-multihop 0.1

Out of tree netmiko monkeypatch for multihop capability

netmiko_multihop is an out of tree netmiko monkeypatch which adds multihop capability. Currently just linux is supported as intermediate hop, but other platforms can be added easily if required.

Installation

Install the netmiko_multihop package by running:

pip3 install netmiko-multihop

Usage

import  netmiko_multihop
from netmiko import ConnectHandler


jumphost1 = {
    'device_type': 'linux',
    'ip': <ip_jumphost1>,
    'username': <ssh_username_jumphost1>,
    'password': <ssh_password_jumphost1>,
    'port': 22,
}

jumphost2 = {
    'device_type': 'linux',
    'ip': <ip_jumphost2>,
    'username': <ssh_username_jumphost2>,
    'password': <ssh_password_jumphost2>,
    'port': 22,
}

target1 = {
    'device_type': 'cisco_nxos',
    'ip': <ip_target1>,
    'username': <ssh_username_target1>,,
    'password': <ssh_password_target1>,
    'port': 22,
}

target2 = {
    'device_type': 'cisco_ios',
    'ip': <ip_target2>,
    'username': <ssh_username_target2>,
    'password': <ssh_password_target2>,
    'port': 22,
}

ssh = ConnectHandler(**jumphost1)
# now we are on jumphost1
# this is where the magic starts. as jump_to returns the object instance we can jump multiple hops at once

ssh.jump_to(**jumphost2).jump_to(**target1)
# now we are on target1
print(ssh.send_command("show inventory"))
# lets get back a single jump
ssh.jump_back()
# now we are on jumphost2
ssh.jump_to(**target2)
# now we are on target2
print(ssh.send_command("show inventory"))
