Project description

~~~ ABOUT ~~~

iosxr-eznc is a Python library to manage Cisco devices running IOS-XR using NETCONF and YANG models as per RFC 6020.

pip install ncclient

~~ USAGE ~~~

Firstly make sure that netconf-yang is enabled on the device:

# netconf-yang agent ssh
Connect to the device:

from pprint import pprint
from iosxr_eznc import Device

dev = Device(host='edge01.bjm01', user='netconf', password='!Love105-XR')
dev.open()
pprint(dev.facts)
