master
Since f35b59e a CLI poll reports trunk members as `3` with
trunk_group `Trk3`, but `show interfaces brief` has no line for Trk3
itself, so the trunk was missing from the interface list. The REST path
built that row on its own.
Both paths now use napalm_device_types.add_lag_interfaces, and the REST
path's copy is gone. One visible change there: `lag_members` is now in
port order (7, 10) instead of API order; the description already was.
The CLI path does not know the mode yet, so its trunks carry no
lag_mode. That needs `show trunks`, whose output is not at hand.
Needs napalm-device-types f3fa75b.
Closes #5
napalm-hpe-aruba-procurve
NAPALM driver for HPE / Aruba ProCurve switches — from ancient 2520G-8-PoE to modern 2530/2540 series.
Transport auto-detection
The driver probes transports in order and uses the first one that succeeds:
| Priority | Transport | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | REST API (HTTPS → HTTP, v7 → v6) | Newer 2530/2540 with rest-interface enabled |
| 2 | SSH (standard) | hp_procurve netmiko driver |
| 3 | SSH (legacy KEX) | Forces older kex/cipher negotiation for 2520G-8-PoE etc. |
| 4 | Telnet | Oldest devices without SSH or with broken SSH |
Override the transport with optional_args={"transport": "ssh_legacy"} to skip
auto-detection.
Switch prerequisites
REST API (newer switches, e.g. 2530, 2540)
web-management ssl
rest-interface
rest-interface session-idle-timeout 120
SSH (all ProCurve)
crypto key generate ssh rsa
ip ssh
Telnet is enabled by default on most ProCurve switches.
Installation
pip install napalm napalm-hpe-aruba-procurve
Or from source:
git clone https://github.com/chrismanivong/napalm-hpe-aruba-procurve
pip install -e napalm-hpe-aruba-procurve/
Quick start
from napalm import get_network_driver
Driver = get_network_driver("procurve")
with Driver(
"10.0.0.1",
"manager",
"secret",
optional_args={
# "transport": "ssh", # force transport (api/ssh/ssh_legacy/telnet)
# "port": 22,
# "ssl_verify": False, # disable SSL cert check for API
# "api_version": "v7", # API version hint (v3/v6/v7)
# "secret": "enablepassword", # enable password for CLI
},
) as dev:
print(dev.get_facts())
print(dev.get_interfaces())
