This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/networking

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Paramiko

    The leading native Python SSHv2 protocol library.

  • 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.

  • netmiko

    Multi-vendor library to simplify Paramiko SSH connections to network devices

  • Looks like that should already be incorporated in to Netmiko's Powerconnect class: https://github.com/ktbyers/netmiko/issues/1782

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
