napalm-nxos SSH testing

[ktbyers]

Create new virtual environment

Activate virtual environment

source nxos_ssh_test/bin/activate

Install napalm libraries

pip install -q napalm-base pip install git+https://github.com/napalm-automation/napalm-nxos@nxos_ssh

If using napalm-ansible

git clone https://github.com/napalm-automation/napalm-ansible

Edit .ansible.cfg

[defaults]
# Add this line
library = /path/to/napalm-ansible/library

Test script for config operations

from __future__ import print_function
from napalm_base import get_network_driver
from getpass import getpass

driver = get_network_driver('nxos_ssh')
optional_args = {'port': 22}
device = driver(hostname='bogus.domain.com', username='admin', password=getpass(), 
                optional_args=optional_args)

device.open()
device.load_merge_candidate(filename='merge.conf')
print(device.compare_config())
#device.discard_config()
#device.commit_config()
device.close()

The following getter methods should also work:

get_users get_ntp_servers get_snmp_information
get_interfaces_ip get_interfaces get_ntp_peers get_config get_facts

Contributing unit test data

# gather the output of these show commands (remove any confidential information).
show run
show start
show ntp peers
show ipv6 interface
show ip interface
show ntp peers
show hostname
show hosts
show interface status
show version
show interface

^^ Those plus these below should give feature parity with nxapi.

show ip arp
show ntp peer-status
show ip interface
show mac address-table
show ipv6 interface
show bgp sessions vrf all

I think we can close this one now.
