- Add script to generate Markdown documentation of all Netmiko supported
devices (SSH and Telnet), grouped by platform with source attribution
- Highlight custom GNS3-Copilot devices with "Custom ✨" marker
- Auto-generate device list to docs/gns3-copilot/netmiko_devices.md
- Simplify HuaweiTelnetCE driver: remove redundant aliases
(huawei_ce, huawei_telnet_ce_telnet), keep only huawei_telnet_ce
- Update tests to match simplified device registration
Disable mypy type checking for the Huawei CE driver module due to
Netmiko library limitations. Netmiko lacks type stubs (py.typed) and
uses dynamic attributes, which causes unresolved import and attribute
errors in static analysis.
Added a comprehensive comment block at the top of the file explaining
the rationale for disabling mypy to prevent future confusion.
Additionally, performed code cleanup including:
- Reformatted module docstrings and comments for better readability
- Added missing imports (importlib, logging)
- Removed unused typing imports (Optional)
- Refactored variable assignments in send_config_set for clarity
Add comprehensive multi-vendor support for GNS3 network automation,
including a custom Netmiko driver for Huawei CloudEngine devices.
Features:
- Custom HuaweiTelnetCE driver for GNS3 emulation (no authentication)
- Auto-commit before exit to prevent [Y/N/C] prompts
- Dynamic device type detection from GNS3 node tags
- Support for both Cisco IOS and Huawei devices
- Proper VRP command handling (system-view, return confirmation)
Implementation:
- New package: utils/custom_netmiko/
- huawei_ce.py: Huawei CloudEngine driver
- tests/test_huawei_ce.py: Unit tests (9/9 passing)
- README.md: Driver development guide
- Updated tools for multi-vendor support:
- display_tools_nornir.py: Dynamic group generation
- config_tools_nornir.py: Multi-vendor config commands
- get_gns3_device_port.py: Device port extraction
- Documentation: multi-vendor-device-support.md
Limitations:
- huawei_telnet_ce driver requires devices without authentication
- For devices with username/password, use standard huawei_telnet driver
