CLI SSH works, but Netmiko/Paramiko results in "Authentication type (password) not permitted" error
2 projects | /r/networking | 25 Aug 2022

It actually looks like the device is using auth type “none”. And looks like paramiko might not support password-less authentication https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/issues/1437.
Explore and learn any Python library using visual, interactive maps

For the purposes of this post, let's say we are using the paramiko SSH package, and we to get a better understanding of how it works. Let's go!
