    Base Class for cisco-like behavior.

    +

    Class for platforms that have no enable mode.

    +

    Netmiko translates the meaning of "enable" mode to be a proxy for "can +go into config mode". In other words, that you ultimately have privileges +to execute configuration changes.

    +

    The expectation on platforms that have no method for elevating privileges +is that the standard default privileges allow configuration changes.

    +

    Consequently check_enable_mode returns True by default for platforms that +don't explicitly support enable mode.

        Base Class for cisco-like behavior.

        +

        Class for platforms that have no enable mode.

        +

        Netmiko translates the meaning of "enable" mode to be a proxy for "can +go into config mode". In other words, that you ultimately have privileges +to execute configuration changes.

        +

        The expectation on platforms that have no method for elevating privileges +is that the standard default privileges allow configuration changes.

        +

        Consequently check_enable_mode returns True by default for platforms that +don't explicitly support enable mode.

    Filter instances are used to perform arbitrary filtering of LogRecords.

    Loggers and Handlers can optionally use Filter instances to filter +records as desired. The base filter class only allows events which are +below a certain point in the logger hierarchy. For example, a filter +initialized with "A.B" will allow events logged by loggers "A.B", +"A.B.C", "A.B.C.D", "A.B.D" etc. but not "A.BB", "B.A.B" etc. If +initialized with the empty string, all events are passed.

    +

    Initialize a filter.

    Initialize with the name of the logger which, together with its +children, will have its events allowed through the filter. If no +name is specified, allow every event.

+
    
+
    Subclass specific to Cisco Viptela.
    
+
        Initialize attributes for establishing connection to target device.
+
+    :param ip: IP address of target device. Not required if `host` is
+        provided.
+
+    :param host: Hostname of target device. Not required if `ip` is
+            provided.
+
+    :param username: Username to authenticate against target device if
+            required.
+
+    :param password: Password to authenticate against target device if
+            required.
+
+    :param secret: The enable password if target device requires one.
+
+    :param port: The destination port used to connect to the target
+            device.
+
+    :param device_type: Class selection based on device type.
+
+    :param verbose: Enable additional messages to standard output.
+
+    :param global_delay_factor: Multiplication factor affecting Netmiko delays (default: 1).
+
+    :param use_keys: Connect to target device using SSH keys.
+
+    :param key_file: Filename path of the SSH key file to use.
+
+    :param pkey: SSH key object to use.
+
+    :param passphrase: Passphrase to use for encrypted key; password will be used for key
+            decryption if not specified.
+
+    :param disabled_algorithms: Dictionary of SSH algorithms to disable. Refer to the Paramiko
+            documentation for a description of the expected format.
+
+    :param allow_agent: Enable use of SSH key-agent.
+
+    :param ssh_strict: Automatically reject unknown SSH host keys (default: False, which
+            means unknown SSH host keys will be accepted).
+
+    :param system_host_keys: Load host keys from the users known_hosts file.
+
+    :param alt_host_keys: If `True` host keys will be loaded from the file specified in
+            alt_key_file.
+
+    :param alt_key_file: SSH host key file to use (if alt_host_keys=True).
+
+    :param ssh_config_file: File name of OpenSSH configuration file.
+
+    :param timeout: Connection timeout.
+
+    :param session_timeout: Set a timeout for parallel requests.
+
+    :param auth_timeout: Set a timeout (in seconds) to wait for an authentication response.
+
+    :param banner_timeout: Set a timeout to wait for the SSH banner (pass to Paramiko).
+
+    :param keepalive: Send SSH keepalive packets at a specific interval, in seconds.
+            Currently defaults to 0, for backwards compatibility (it will not attempt
+            to keep the connection alive).
+
+    :param default_enter: Character(s) to send to correspond to enter key (default:
+
    
+
    ).
    
+
        :param response_return: Character(s) to use in normalized return data to represent
+            enter key (default:
+
    
+
    )
    
+
        :param fast_cli: Provide a way to optimize for performance. Converts select_delay_factor
+            to select smallest of global and specific. Sets default global_delay_factor to .1
+            (default: True)
+
+    :param session_log: File path or BufferedIOBase subclass object to write the session log to.
+
+    :param session_log_record_writes: The session log generally only records channel reads due
+            to eliminate command duplication due to command echo. You can enable this if you
+            want to record both channel reads and channel writes in the log (default: False).
+
+    :param session_log_file_mode: "write" or "append" for session_log file mode
+            (default: "write")
+
+    :param allow_auto_change: Allow automatic configuration changes for terminal settings.
+            (default: False)
+
+    :param encoding: Encoding to be used when writing bytes to the output channel.
+            (default: ascii)
+
+    :param sock: An open socket or socket-like object (such as a `.Channel`) to use for
+            communication to the target host (default: None).
+
+    :param global_cmd_verify: Control whether command echo verification is enabled or disabled
+            (default: None). Global attribute takes precedence over function `cmd_verify`
+            argument. Value of `None` indicates to use function `cmd_verify` argument.
+
+    :param auto_connect: Control whether Netmiko automatically establishes the connection as
+            part of the object creation (default: True).
+
+    :param delay_factor_compat: Set send_command and send_command_timing back to using Netmiko
+            3.x behavior for delay_factor/global_delay_factor/max_loops. This argument will be
+            eliminated in Netmiko 5.x (default: False).

+
                          check_config_mode returns True as the expectation is that configuration commands
+can be executed directly. So in your current state, you are in "config mode" i.e.
+you can make configuration changes.
                          
+
                          If you truly cannot make any configuration changes to device then you should probably
+overwrite check_config_mode in the platform specific driver and return False.

                                  check_config_mode returns True as the expectation is that configuration commands
+can be executed directly. So in your current state, you are in "config mode" i.e.
+you can make configuration changes.
                                  
+
                                  If you truly cannot make any configuration changes to device then you should probably
+overwrite check_config_mode in the platform specific driver and return False.

                                          Class for platforms that have no enable mode.
                                          
+
                                          Netmiko translates the meaning of "enable" mode to be a proxy for "can
+go into config mode". In other words, that you ultimately have privileges
+to execute configuration changes.
                                          
+
                                          The expectation on platforms that have no method for elevating privileges
+is that the standard default privileges allow configuration changes.
                                          
+
                                          Consequently check_enable_mode returns True by default for platforms that
+don't explicitly support enable mode.

                                              Base Class for cisco-like behavior.

                                              Class for platforms that have no enable mode.
                                              
+
                                              Netmiko translates the meaning of "enable" mode to be a proxy for "can
+go into config mode". In other words, that you ultimately have privileges
+to execute configuration changes.
                                              
+
                                              The expectation on platforms that have no method for elevating privileges
+is that the standard default privileges allow configuration changes.
                                              
+
                                              Consequently check_enable_mode returns True by default for platforms that
+don't explicitly support enable mode.

-class SSHClient_noauth
-
    
-
    
-
    A high-level representation of a session with an SSH server.
-This class
-wraps .Transport, .Channel, and .SFTPClient to take care of most
-aspects of authenticating and opening channels.
-A typical use case is::
    
-
    client = SSHClient()
-client.load_system_host_keys()
-client.connect('ssh.example.com')
-stdin, stdout, stderr = client.exec_command('ls -l')
-
    
-
    You may pass in explicit overrides for authentication and server host key
-checking.
-The default mechanism is to try to use local key files or an
-SSH agent (if one is running).
    
-
    Instances of this class may be used as context managers.
    
-

    Class for platforms that have no enable mode.
    
+
    Netmiko translates the meaning of "enable" mode to be a proxy for "can
+go into config mode". In other words, that you ultimately have privileges
+to execute configuration changes.
    
+
    The expectation on platforms that have no method for elevating privileges
+is that the standard default privileges allow configuration changes.
    
+
    Consequently check_enable_mode returns True by default for platforms that
+don't explicitly support enable mode.

    Class for platforms that have no enable mode.
    
+
    Netmiko translates the meaning of "enable" mode to be a proxy for "can
+go into config mode". In other words, that you ultimately have privileges
+to execute configuration changes.
    
+
    The expectation on platforms that have no method for elevating privileges
+is that the standard default privileges allow configuration changes.
    
+
    Consequently check_enable_mode returns True by default for platforms that
+don't explicitly support enable mode.

        Class for platforms that have no enable mode.
        
+
        Netmiko translates the meaning of "enable" mode to be a proxy for "can
+go into config mode". In other words, that you ultimately have privileges
+to execute configuration changes.
        
+
        The expectation on platforms that have no method for elevating privileges
+is that the standard default privileges allow configuration changes.
        
+
        Consequently check_enable_mode returns True by default for platforms that
+don't explicitly support enable mode.

        Class for platforms that have no enable mode.
        
+
        Netmiko translates the meaning of "enable" mode to be a proxy for "can
+go into config mode". In other words, that you ultimately have privileges
+to execute configuration changes.
        
+
        The expectation on platforms that have no method for elevating privileges
+is that the standard default privileges allow configuration changes.
        
+
        Consequently check_enable_mode returns True by default for platforms that
+don't explicitly support enable mode.

      Base Class for cisco-like behavior.
      
+
      Class for platforms that have no enable mode.
      
+
      Netmiko translates the meaning of "enable" mode to be a proxy for "can
+go into config mode". In other words, that you ultimately have privileges
+to execute configuration changes.
      
+
      The expectation on platforms that have no method for elevating privileges
+is that the standard default privileges allow configuration changes.
      
+
      Consequently check_enable_mode returns True by default for platforms that
+don't explicitly support enable mode.
      
 
          Initialize attributes for establishing connection to target device.
 
     :param ip: IP address of target device. Not required if `host` is

        Base Class for cisco-like behavior.
        
+
        Class for platforms that have no enable mode.
        
+
        Netmiko translates the meaning of "enable" mode to be a proxy for "can
+go into config mode". In other words, that you ultimately have privileges
+to execute configuration changes.
        
+
        The expectation on platforms that have no method for elevating privileges
+is that the standard default privileges allow configuration changes.
        
+
        Consequently check_enable_mode returns True by default for platforms that
+don't explicitly support enable mode.

      Base Class for cisco-like behavior.
      
+
      Class for platforms that have no enable mode.
      
+
      Netmiko translates the meaning of "enable" mode to be a proxy for "can
+go into config mode". In other words, that you ultimately have privileges
+to execute configuration changes.
      
+
      The expectation on platforms that have no method for elevating privileges
+is that the standard default privileges allow configuration changes.
      
+
      Consequently check_enable_mode returns True by default for platforms that
+don't explicitly support enable mode.
      
 
          Initialize attributes for establishing connection to target device.

    Base Class for cisco-like behavior.
    
+
    Class for platforms that have no enable mode.
    
+
    Netmiko translates the meaning of "enable" mode to be a proxy for "can
+go into config mode". In other words, that you ultimately have privileges
+to execute configuration changes.
    
+
    The expectation on platforms that have no method for elevating privileges
+is that the standard default privileges allow configuration changes.
    
+
    Consequently check_enable_mode returns True by default for platforms that
+don't explicitly support enable mode.
    
 
        Initialize attributes for establishing connection to target device.

    Base Class for cisco-like behavior.
    
+
    Class for platforms that have no enable mode.
    
+
    Netmiko translates the meaning of "enable" mode to be a proxy for "can
+go into config mode". In other words, that you ultimately have privileges
+to execute configuration changes.
    
+
    The expectation on platforms that have no method for elevating privileges
+is that the standard default privileges allow configuration changes.
    
+
    Consequently check_enable_mode returns True by default for platforms that
+don't explicitly support enable mode.

-    :type global_cmd_verify: bool|None
 
     :param auto_connect: Control whether Netmiko automatically establishes the connection as
             part of the object creation (default: True).
-    :type auto_connect: bool
+
+    :param delay_factor_compat: Set send_command and send_command_timing back to using Netmiko
+            3.x behavior for delay_factor/global_delay_factor/max_loops. This argument will be

    Base Class for cisco-like behavior.
    
+
    Class for platforms that have no enable mode.
    
+
    Netmiko translates the meaning of "enable" mode to be a proxy for "can
+go into config mode". In other words, that you ultimately have privileges
+to execute configuration changes.
    
+
    The expectation on platforms that have no method for elevating privileges
+is that the standard default privileges allow configuration changes.
    
+
    Consequently check_enable_mode returns True by default for platforms that
+don't explicitly support enable mode.

    Base Class for cisco-like behavior.
    
+
    Class for platforms that have no enable mode.
    
+
    Netmiko translates the meaning of "enable" mode to be a proxy for "can
+go into config mode". In other words, that you ultimately have privileges
+to execute configuration changes.
    
+
    The expectation on platforms that have no method for elevating privileges
+is that the standard default privileges allow configuration changes.
    
+
    Consequently check_enable_mode returns True by default for platforms that
+don't explicitly support enable mode.
    
 
        Initialize attributes for establishing connection to target device.

        Class for platforms that have no enable mode.
        
+
        Netmiko translates the meaning of "enable" mode to be a proxy for "can
+go into config mode". In other words, that you ultimately have privileges
+to execute configuration changes.
        
+
        The expectation on platforms that have no method for elevating privileges
+is that the standard default privileges allow configuration changes.
        
+
        Consequently check_enable_mode returns True by default for platforms that
+don't explicitly support enable mode.

+
        
+
        Class for platforms that have no enable mode.
        
+
        Netmiko translates the meaning of "enable" mode to be a proxy for "can
+go into config mode". In other words, that you ultimately have privileges
+to execute configuration changes.
        
+
        The expectation on platforms that have no method for elevating privileges
+is that the standard default privileges allow configuration changes.
        
+
        Consequently check_enable_mode returns True by default for platforms that
+don't explicitly support enable mode.
        
+
            Initialize attributes for establishing connection to target device.
+
+    :param ip: IP address of target device. Not required if `host` is
+        provided.
+
+    :param host: Hostname of target device. Not required if `ip` is
+            provided.
+
+    :param username: Username to authenticate against target device if
+            required.
+
+    :param password: Password to authenticate against target device if
+            required.
+
+    :param secret: The enable password if target device requires one.
+
+    :param port: The destination port used to connect to the target
+            device.
+
+    :param device_type: Class selection based on device type.
+
+    :param verbose: Enable additional messages to standard output.
+
+    :param global_delay_factor: Multiplication factor affecting Netmiko delays (default: 1).
+
+    :param use_keys: Connect to target device using SSH keys.
+
+    :param key_file: Filename path of the SSH key file to use.
+
+    :param pkey: SSH key object to use.
+
+    :param passphrase: Passphrase to use for encrypted key; password will be used for key
+            decryption if not specified.
+
+    :param disabled_algorithms: Dictionary of SSH algorithms to disable. Refer to the Paramiko
+            documentation for a description of the expected format.
+
+    :param allow_agent: Enable use of SSH key-agent.
+
+    :param ssh_strict: Automatically reject unknown SSH host keys (default: False, which
+            means unknown SSH host keys will be accepted).
+
+    :param system_host_keys: Load host keys from the users known_hosts file.
+
+    :param alt_host_keys: If `True` host keys will be loaded from the file specified in
+            alt_key_file.
+
+    :param alt_key_file: SSH host key file to use (if alt_host_keys=True).
+
+    :param ssh_config_file: File name of OpenSSH configuration file.
+
+    :param timeout: Connection timeout.
+
+    :param session_timeout: Set a timeout for parallel requests.
+
+    :param auth_timeout: Set a timeout (in seconds) to wait for an authentication response.
+
+    :param banner_timeout: Set a timeout to wait for the SSH banner (pass to Paramiko).
+
+    :param keepalive: Send SSH keepalive packets at a specific interval, in seconds.
+            Currently defaults to 0, for backwards compatibility (it will not attempt
+            to keep the connection alive).
+
+    :param default_enter: Character(s) to send to correspond to enter key (default:
+
        
+
        ).
        
+
            :param response_return: Character(s) to use in normalized return data to represent
+            enter key (default:
+
        
+
        )
        
+
            :param fast_cli: Provide a way to optimize for performance. Converts select_delay_factor
+            to select smallest of global and specific. Sets default global_delay_factor to .1
+            (default: True)
+
+    :param session_log: File path or BufferedIOBase subclass object to write the session log to.
+
+    :param session_log_record_writes: The session log generally only records channel reads due
+            to eliminate command duplication due to command echo. You can enable this if you
+            want to record both channel reads and channel writes in the log (default: False).
+
+    :param session_log_file_mode: "write" or "append" for session_log file mode
+            (default: "write")
+
+    :param allow_auto_change: Allow automatic configuration changes for terminal settings.
+            (default: False)
+
+    :param encoding: Encoding to be used when writing bytes to the output channel.
+            (default: ascii)
+
+    :param sock: An open socket or socket-like object (such as a `.Channel`) to use for
+            communication to the target host (default: None).
+
+    :param global_cmd_verify: Control whether command echo verification is enabled or disabled
+            (default: None). Global attribute takes precedence over function `cmd_verify`
+            argument. Value of `None` indicates to use function `cmd_verify` argument.
+
+    :param auto_connect: Control whether Netmiko automatically establishes the connection as
+            part of the object creation (default: True).
+
+    :param delay_factor_compat: Set send_command and send_command_timing back to using Netmiko
+            3.x behavior for delay_factor/global_delay_factor/max_loops. This argument will be
+            eliminated in Netmiko 5.x (default: False).
