Ciena SAOS 10 support naming convention

georgesnow opened this issue · 1 comments

If i wanted to add support for Ciena's newer OS. (SAOS 10). The CLI is completely different from the current SAOS support, which pertains to SAOS 6.
What is the suggested naming convention for adding support for Ciena SAOS 10?

thanks

We currently have this for Ciena:

190     "ciena_saos": CienaSaosSSH,

So probably:

ciena_saos10 for the new driver.

We can probably also add a ciena_saos6 key that points to the current class i.e. CienaSaosSSH (so that it is clearer what the current driver supports). We should leave the current, ciena_saos key, however (to avoid breaking existing code).
