device.name
'RM5PomeziaSNode'
device.model
'Rocket M5'
device.os
('AirOS', 'XMar7240.v5.3.3.sdk.9634.1111221.2238')

device.to_json()

Specific backend (protocol) commands, SSH example:

print device.run('ls -l')
-rw-------    1 root     admin         459 Jan 26  2011 dropbear_dss_host_key
-rw-------    1 root     admin         427 Jan 26  2011 dropbear_rsa_host_key

-rw-r--r--    1 root     admin         234 Jan  4  2012 radvd.conf

SNMP example:

from netengine.backends.snmp import AirOS

device = AirOS('10.40.0.1', community='public')

device.name
'RM5PomeziaSNode'
device.model
'Rocket M5'
device.os
('AirOS', 'XMar7240.v5.3.3.sdk.9634.1111221.2238')

Specific SNMP command example:

from netengine.backends.snmp import OpenWRT

device = OpenWRT('10.40.0.1', community='public')
# get a certain OID
device.get('1.2.840.10036.3.1.2.1.4.8')
