A library to simplify telnet connections to Cisco IOS devices

Installation

Unha is distributed on PyPI and is available on Linux/macOS and Windows and supports Python 3.6+.

$ pip install -U unha

Why not just use Netmiko?

I use Netmiko whenever possible. Unfortunately I have some old cisco devices that just refuse to work with Netmiko. I spent a lot of time trying to make it work but eventually gave up.

Unha is a fallback library that I use when Netmiko with cisco_ios_telnet fails to connect to my stuborn devices.

Usually my scripts will try to connect to the devices using the fololwing methods:

• Netmiko with device_type cisco_ios

• Netmiko with device_type cisco_ios_telnet

• Unha

Usage

I try to emulate the Netmiko methods.

>>> device = Unha('10.0.0.1', 'username', 'password')
>>> output = device.send_command('show version')
>>> device.send_config_set(['snmp ifmib ifindex persist', 'snmp-server enable traps cpu threshold'])
>>> device.disconnect()
