Netmiko SSH Automation

Use this skill when writing or reviewing Python automation that connects to network devices with Netmiko. Keep the default path read-only; config changes need a separate change window, peer review, and rollback plan.

When to Use

  • Collecting show command output across routers, switches, or firewalls.
  • Building a small audit script for interface, routing, or config evidence.
  • Adding timeouts and exception handling to network SSH scripts.
  • Parsing command output with TextFSM when a template exists.
  • Reviewing automation before it touches production devices.

Safety Defaults

  • Start with read-only send_command() collection.
  • Keep inventory small and explicit; do not sweep whole address ranges.
  • Use environment variables, a vault, or getpass; never hardcode credentials.
