Description:

unicon.plugins 24.8

Note
this is the plugins component of Unicon. The usage of this package requires
unicon main package.

Unicon is a package aiming to provide a unified connection experience to network
devices through typical command-line management interface. By wrapping the
underlying session (eg, telnet, ssh), Unicon provides:

direct and proxied connections through any common CLI interface (telnet, ssh, serial etc)
power of expect-like programming without having to deal with low-level logic
multi-vendor support through an agnostic API interface
seamless handling of CLI modes (eg, enable, configure, admin-configure mode)
rejected commands, command error detections
value-add statful services (specific to the platform)

and is extensible: platform supports and services are implemented via
open-source plugins.
Unicon is the standard, go-to CLI connection implementation for Cisco pyATS
framework.
This package was initially developed internally in Cisco, and is now
release to the general public starting late 2017 through Cisco DevNet.
