Netmiko for OmniSwitch

Oct 15 - Oct 16, 2024

Automation on OmniSwitch

In 2016, I wrote an Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise module alcatel_aos for Netmiko.

This Python module works for AOS6 and AOS8. It is regularly updated by Kirk Byers when major changes are made in the Netmiko library.

I have now been asked to create a Python code to automate configuration on the Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise OmniSwitch, so I used the Nornir framework in addition to the Netmiko library to structure the Python code in a way close to Ansible.

Here a step-by-step guide for implementing it:

When all these actions have been completed, the Nornir automation framework will be ready to use.
