This expands on earlier telnet support PRs mainly fixing is_alive
to work with telnet.
I tested telnet connectivity to real device for get_facts
. I also tested is_alive()
to real device for both SSH and telnet (in both the alive and fail case).
@mirceaulinic I think we should make the is_alive code referenced here the standard for Netmiko (the SSH section of it). Basically, I used a lower level write_channel()
for the code which makes more sense given what we are doing.
I also removed some legacy code that checked Netmiko version, but is no longer relevant (since requirements.txt requires a much higher version of Netmiko than what was being checked for).
Okay, expanded comment a bit on IAC + NOP meaning.
