napalm-netgear-switches

NAPALM community driver for Netgear Smart Managed and Netgear Plus Managed switches (GS108EPP, GS110TP, GS316EPP and compatible Smart Managed Pro series).

Tested devices

Model	Series	Tested
GS110TP	Smart Managed Pro	✅
GS108EPP	Smart Managed Pro	✅
GS316EPP	Smart Managed Pro	✅

Other models from the Netgear Smart Managed Pro series should work as well — contributions welcome.

Requirements

Dependency	Minimum version
Python	3.10
NAPALM	4.0
napalm-device-types	4.21.1
Netmiko	4.0

Installation

pip install napalm-netgear-switches

The name napalm-netgear on PyPI belongs to another project. The import package is still napalm_netgear, and the drivers are still netgear_smart and netgear_plus.

Or from source:

git clone https://git.netork.io/NAPALM/napalm-netgear.git
cd napalm-netgear
pip install -e .

Quick start

from napalm import get_network_driver

driver = get_network_driver("netgear_smart")
with driver("192.168.0.239", "admin", "password") as device:
    facts = device.get_facts()
    print(facts)

CLI notes

• Netmiko device type: netgear_prosafe
• Prompt pattern: (hostname) > / (hostname) # / (hostname) (Config)#
• Interface naming: 0/1, 0/2, … (slot/port); LAG channels: ch1, ch2, …
• Config is persisted with write memory
• Key-value output uses Key: value or Key..... value notation depending on firmware generation — both are handled automatically
