Python Netgear Switch Interface Library
Query and control all your Netgear switches — SNMP (managed), NSDP and HTTP
web-UI (Plus) — behind one model-driven Python API and the ngsw CLI.
Status: early development. See docs/superpowers/specs/ for the design and
docs/superpowers/plans/ for the implementation plans.
Installation
pip / uv (PyPI)
pip install python-netgear-switch-library
# or: uv add python-netgear-switch-library
Optional extras: [async] (pysnmp), [http] (httpx). The synchronous SNMP
transport shells out to the net-snmp command-line tools, a system package
(not a Python dependency):
sudo apt install snmp # provides snmpget/snmpbulkwalk/snmpset
Debian / Ubuntu (apt)
Signed .deb packages for Debian trixie and sid are published to a
GitHub Pages apt repository. Pick the line matching your suite:
sudo install -d -m0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://mithro.github.io/python-netgear-switch-library/netgear-switch.gpg \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/netgear-switch.gpg > /dev/null
# trixie:
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/netgear-switch.gpg] https://mithro.github.io/python-netgear-switch-library/trixie/ ./" \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/netgear-switch.list
# sid:
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/netgear-switch.gpg] https://mithro.github.io/python-netgear-switch-library/sid/ ./" \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/netgear-switch.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-netgear-switch-library
This installs the netgear_switch library and the ngsw CLI, and pulls in the
snmp net-snmp CLI tools automatically.
Either way, once installed run ngsw --help to see available commands.
Versioning
This project is a rolling release: the version is derived from git
