NAPALM COMMUNITY DRIVER FOR CIENA SAOS DEVICES

This Napalm driver connects to Ciena devices running SAOS operating system. It has been tested on multiple platforms.

It is only possible to connect using SSH so telnet will not work.

INSTALLING THE DRIVER

git clone https://github.com/napalm-automation-community/napalm-ciena-saos.git
cd napalm-ciena-saos
python setup.py

Installation with PIP will be available soon.

HOW TO USE

Use driver name ciena_saos and

    driver = napalm.get_network_driver("ciena_saos")
    device = driver(hostname=<host>, username=<user>, password=<pwd>, optional_args={  })
    device.open()
    device.get_config()
    device.get_facts()
    device.get_virtual_switch()
    device.close()
