@dbarrosop @mirceaulinic What are your thoughts on adding an optional_argument ios_transport
which defaults to SSH (but also supports telnet).
I would then force the transfer mode to inline (as it would have to use the inline-transfer that uses TCL).

But call it just transport, I don't think it's ios
specific and if we build a generic napalm-netmiko
it might end up supporting that same optional_arg
Yes, i would suggest the same - i think transport
would make more sense and could be used by few other drivers.
Hi @sorano - would you be able to submit a pull request with the changes required for this? Netmiko seems to have good support for telnet so I assume it's pretty easy. Thanks!
Hi @sorano - I believe this has been already implemented.
We are currently in the process of reunification, please check https://napalm-automation.net/reunification/. Going forward, we'd like to ask you to submit Pull Requests and Issues to the main repository: https://github.com/napalm-automation/napalm.

Feature request: Add support to napalm-ios to force and/or failover to netmiko telnet type.
netmiko supports telnet with the telnet device type:
device['device_type'] = 'cisco_ios_telnet'
