Alternative to Netmiko for Improved Speed

Tip: If you're looking for a faster alternative to Netmiko for CLI scraping, consider using Scrapli. It offers various transport types, such as SSH2, which can significantly enhance speed.

Here's a short example 👇

# Install: pip install scrapli
from scrapli import Scrapli

device = {
    "host": "172.29.151.1",
    "auth_username": "user",
    "auth_password": "password",
    "auth_strict_key": False,
    "platform": "cisco_nxos",
    "transport": "ssh2",
}

with Scrapli(**device) as conn:
    response = conn.send_command("show version")

print(response.result)
# Output:
# Cisco Nexus Operating System (NX-OS) Software
# ...
# Software
#   BIOS: version
#  NXOS: version 9.3(7a)
