ssh support

[mhite]

Would be great if netconify could initiate connections to a console server via ssh rather than just telnet. Our entire console server infrastructure relies on ssh to reach console ports rather than telnet.

Thanks for your consideration.

I just added the ssh support. It is in first stages and needs little finishing touches and then I'll request merge to this official library. For time being, you can pull mine on you own risk.

pbk@pbk-mbp15 [~]netconify --facts -s "146.180.226.36,4011,," -u test-user --passwd "pasword1"
CMD:TTY:login:connecting to TTY:146.180.226.36:4011:test-user:password1 ...
CMD:TTY:login:logging to device ...
CMD:TTY:login: OK ... starting NETCONF

CMD:facts:saving: ./cfwj-lab1-0011a-facts.json
CMD:inventory:saving: ./cfwj-lab1-0011a-inventory.xml
CMD:TTY:logout:logging out ...

I omitted ssh console user and pass, since they're same for device authentication, but if they are different, you can specify them.

pbk@pbk-mbp15 [~]netconify --facts -s "146.180.226.36,4011,console-user,console-password" -u test-user --passwd "pasword1"
CMD:TTY:login:connecting to TTY:146.180.226.36:4011:console-user:console-password ...
CMD:TTY:login:logging to device ...

r2600,, I get the following:

I noted some problems with tty_ssh.py in issue #50. Trying cloning my fork.

sudo pip install git+https://github.com/jeffbrl/py-junos-netconify.git@issue-50-fix

[gsram369]

jeffbri i tried cloning your fork unfortunately it didnt work

[jeffbrl]

Not sure what error you encountered. Try cloning my fork with 'git clone' and then switching to the issue-50-fix branch. Run 'python setup.py install'.

Jeff,
The issue with #50 is purely decorative, allot does is negate timeout that wasn't in netconify before and was added to actually timeout. Thanks for noticing calling incorrect variable but this simple loop can be done 100 different ways to achieve same result. It was written quickly to satisfy customer request. I'll pick up work on netconify this summer and add more features users require.
