JumpServer to access cisco devices

[oscsalga]

its weird to access devices with just one ssh connection, almost always we need to connect to a linux server in order from there to connect to the devices.

How can we do that???

tl;dr - scrapli execs ssh on your system (with default system transport), so set it up however you want in your ssh config file. https://carlmontanari.github.io/scrapli/user_guide/basic_usage/#ssh-config-support

Hello, thanks for answering.
im trying with AsyncIOSXRDriver but i cannot manage to make it work, here is the dictionary im using:

IOSXR_DEVICE1 = {
"host": "x.x.x.x",
"auth_username": "x.x.x.x",
"auth_password": "x.x.x.x",
"auth_strict_key": False,
"port": 22,
"transport": "asyncssh",
"driver": AsyncIOSXRDriver,
"ssh_config_file": "/Users/oscsalga/ssh_configPrueba",

and here is the error:

socket.gaierror: [Errno 8] nodename nor servname provided, or not known

i tried with

from scrapli.driver.core import IOSXEDriver

my_device = {
"host": "172.18.0.11",
"auth_username": "scrapli",
"auth_password": "scrapli",
"auth_strict_key": False,
"ssh_config_file": "~/my_ssh_config",
}

with IOSXEDriver(**my_device) as conn:
print(conn.get_prompt())

and is working fine

system transport uses standard ssh which is why sync transport works, no other transport does, they use their own implementations (i.e. asyncssh, ssh2). for asyncssh look -> here
