Drivers Overview

The switches/connect/ directory contains the drivers for the various devices supported by OpenL2M.

All drivers are derived from a base Connector() class. We currently provide several sub-connectors (sub-classes):

• several based on SNMP (Cisco, Juniper, Aruba/HP, Aruba/AOS-CX, generic).

• a Juniper PyEz-NC API based driver.

• a REST-API based connector for the Aruba AOS-CX line of devices.

• a read-only driver based on the Napalm automation framework.

A simple Netmiko-based class is used for SSH connectivity to devices.
