Connect to device without paramiko/netmiko modules - kang18 - Jun-04-2020

Hi All,

I am new to networking python programming. I am currently working with a Telcom company.

We are working with multiple customers on a different domains.
Can anyone help me provide an example python config on how to connect to a network device with the Paramiko/netmiko/Pexpect modules. As the built in python in our CMDS does not have the mentioned modules..

Can anyone help me and show me how to do it?

use pip to install modules. (All from command line)
first you must have a minimum of python 3.3 installed, also packages:
pyserial: pip install pyserial
textfsm: pip install textfsm
then:
from command line: pip install paramiko
netmiko: pip install netmiko

some of these may already be installed, to find out, from command line, type:
pip list
and see if they are listed.

Hi Larz60+

The modules are already installed in my machine. my problem is the module is not install in our company CMDS to where we perform the telnet/ssh to the device.
