netmiko connecting to arista devices. - dan1962 - Feb-07-2020
Creating a Python script that will log into a Arista Switch, from there it will save config, then tftp to a tftp server and copy the running-config.
Issue that I am having is that it will not connect to the Arista Device.
Getting this error:
netmiko.ssh_exception.NetmikoAuthenticationException: Authentication failure: unable to connect arista_eos 192.168.225.254:22
Bad authentication type; allowed types: ['publickey', 'keyboard-interactive']
My code:
from netmiko import ConnectHandler
iosv_l2 = {
'device_type': 'arista_eos',
'ip': '192.168.225.254',
'username': 'test123',
'password': 'test123'
}Not using keys yet, and can log onto the device with username and password from a command prompt or 'Putty'I looked over the base_connection.py file, but do not want to modify anything until I know what the issue is.
Thank you
Dan
