NAPALM INTEGRATION WITH NOKIA SR LINUX

NAPALM

NAPALM (Network Automation and Programmability Abstraction Layer with Multivendor support) is a Python library that implements a set of functions to interact with different router vendor devices using a unified API.

NAPALM supports several methods to connect to the devices, to manipulate configurations or to retrieve data.

SRL OS

NAPALM integration is validated with a minimum of Nokia Service Router Linux Operating System (SRL OS) version 21.3.1. Releases beyond this have not been validated and should be by users before using the driver in labs and production on devices using different SRL OS versions. Please contact the Nokia owners of this repository for additional information with respect to additional release validation.
