Implement simple HP ProCurve auto detect

[aianbc]

Kirk,

Can you help me on this, unable to detect the device type of the switch as the device type is hp_procurve.

CODE

from netmiko import ConnectHandler from netmiko.ssh_autodetect import SSHDetect from netmiko.ssh_dispatcher import ssh_dispatcher

asw1 = { 'device_type': 'autodetect', 'ip': '10.84.10.1', 'session_timeout': 60, 'timeout': 60, 'username': 'admin', 'password': 'admin' }

guesser = SSHDetect(**asw1) match = guesser.autodetect()

print(match)

OUTPUT

(venv) C:\Users\aianbc\PycharmProjects\NETAUTO\PyX>python uat1.py None

Yes, it doesn't look like there is any autodetect for HP ProCurve someone would have to implement it via a PR.

If you send me over a show version output from a device I could see if there is an easy fix.

Hi Kirk,

Here you go.

SHOW VERSION

ggc-cg3b11-asw2# show version Image stamp: /sw/code/build/bass(bh2) Oct 21 2008 16:33:39 N.11.15 25 Boot Image: Primary

SYSTEM INFORMATION

ProCurve J9021A Switch 2810-24G Software revision : N.11.15
ROM Version : N.10.01

Note, this will not work generally (as ProCurve is not consistently in the show version output). We could, however, implement show version and at least match on the set of HP ProCurve devices that do behave this way.

Thanks kirk.

Here's the output from two switches- one very legacy and one modern. It appears that a match for "Image stamp.*/code/build" would be suitable. I do have a number of other HP models I could check against if requested.

HP 2824# show version Image stamp: /sw/code/build/mako Aug 24 2015 16:29:50 I.10.107 2132 Boot Image: Primary HP 2824#

Is there no command in HP ProCurve where the output actually says "HP"/"HPE" and "ProCurve"/"Provision"?

We can potentially do:

"Image stamp.*/code/build"

But it would be better to actually get output that identifies the platform/vendor as opposed to having to infer it from pretty general text.

[mitchellaxtell]

Procurve and Provision do not appear in any command I am aware of, even in "show tech". As for "HP", that is shown in a "show modules" on stacking or chassis switches, or "show lldp info local-device" - see below

2920-48G-POE+# show lldp info local

This does not explicitly define this as a Provision device, but as far as I am aware this command does not function on a Comware device and works on anything 10.74 and higher (end of 2008).

This is applicable at least until 16.10- HP is rebranding the Provision lines as Aruba, but I have not found one that displays as "Aruba JXXXX". Please note that the J naming is not J####, but can be displayed as JL (J[L0-9]{4}[A-Z]{0,1}).

[ktbyers]

Okay, I guess we will have to do something like this then...

"Image stamp.*/code/build"

If someone wants to implement a PR on that...that would be great.

[ktbyers]

Someone would need to implement this in a PR. Unforutnately HP ProCurve makes it hard by being so nondescript in their output.

I implemented it in #3132
