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)

Optional arguments

Argument	Default	Description
`port`	`22`	SSH port
`force_no_enable`	`False`	Skip `enable` after login
`canonical_int_fmt`	`False`	Use canonical interface names

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
