Although the installation of NAPALM is very easy, some underlying Python libraries have certain dependencies on various operating systems. This SaltStack formula provides the necessary state to install the required packages.
Note
See the full Salt Formulas installation and usage instructions.
Install the NAPALM libraries and their system requirements.
In the pillar we define a list of the NAPALM drivers to install.
napalm:
install:
- napalm-junos
- napalm-ios
- napalm-iosxrSee pillar.example.
Note
As NAPALM is mostly used when working with proxy minions, it is good to keep in mind this distinction: proxy minions manage the network gear, while regular minion(s) manage the server(s) where the proxy minions run. Hence, this formula is designed to be executed on the regular minion, in order to prepare the environment for the proxies.
From the minion server:
$ sudo salt-call state.sls napalm_installFrom the master, targeting the server(s) where we need to install NAPALM:
$ sudo salt 'server-for-napalm' state.sls napalm_install$ sudo salt-call state.sls napalm_install
