  • system: Wrapper around OpenSSH/System available SSH binary.
  • paramiko: Wrapper around paramiko library.
  • ssh2: Wrapper around ssh2-python library.
• Socket Timeout: When socket is created it is initially set with this timeout.

• Ops Timeout: This timeout is used for individual operations (commands).

Connection Parameters

• Credentials: Select between:
  • Device Credentials - eNMS will select the most appropriate credential object for each device. If there are multiple credentials available, eNMS will use the Type of Credential and Priority properties as a tie breaker.
  • Named Credential - Credential type
  • User Credentials - Use the user's currently logged in credentials to access the device.
  • Custom Credentials - The user provides the credentials below:
• Custom Username - User provided username.
• Custom Password - User provided password.
• Start New Connection: Before the service runs, the current cached connection is discarded and a new one is started.
• Connection Name: If changed to something other than default, the connection will be cached as a separate connection to that same device. This allows for multiple simultaneous "named" connections to a single device, as in this example:
• Close Connection: Once the service is done running, the current connection will be closed.
