skip configuration mode (ValueError: Failed to enter configuration mode)

[reymartin-gnetwork]

Hi, the platform in using is Nokia/Alcatel ISAM OLT (which doesnt seem to be in the list) and I'm trying to send several lines of config in a file.

If I use 'netmiko_send_command' in a loop I'm getting this error (only the first line executed)

OSError: Search pattern never detected in send_command: typ:[email protected]>#

If I use 'netmiko_send_config' it's expecting config mode:

ValueError: Failed to enter configuration mode

Config options Im using:

connection_options:
    netmiko:
        platorm: generic
        extras: 
            global_cmd_verify: False
            fast_cli: False

Any suggestion for the best approach please? Thanks.

Ok so it works if I change the platform to 'netscaler' since netscaler is not using 'config mode'.

@reymartin-gnetwork Typically, you need to create a Netmiko driver, if one doesn't exist for your platform.

This is the recommended approach.
