SSH Tutorial for Python and how to connect to Cisco devices
SSH is the industry standard for connecting to a network device. This is unsurprising, given that the legacy protocol, telnet, only allows for insecure remote management. Rather than that, SSH stands for Secure Shell for a reason: it is a truly secure protocol that incorporates all modern security features. As a result, we cannot create SDN software without incorporating SSH. We will demonstrate how to use SSH in a Python program to connect to and control remote devices in this Python SSH Tutorial.
We will demonstrate how to do things correctly in this article.
