Telnet without enter in enable mode

[JulienSSH]

Hi!

I try to automate Telnet tasks without enter enable mode (basicly only show commands). I configured connexion according below ressources:
#https://developer.cisco.com/codeexchange/github/repo/cldeluna/nornir-config
##656

So to do that I configured files as below:

%inventory

{
  "hosts": {
    "telnet_device": {
      "name": "telnet_device",
      "connection_options": {},
      "groups": [
        "my_group"
      ],
      "data": {},
      "hostname": "10.10.10.10",
      "port": null,
      "username": null,
      "password": null,
      "platform": null
    }
  },
  "groups": {
    "my_group": {
      "name": "my_group",
      "connection_options": {
        "napalm": {
          "extras": {
            "optional_args": {
              "secret": "telnet_pwd",
              "transport": "telnet"
            }
          },
          "hostname": null,
          "port": null,
          "username": null,
          "password": null,
          "platform": null
        },
        "netmiko": {
          "extras": {
            "device_type": "cisco_ios_telnet"
          },
          "hostname": null,
          "port": null,
          "username": null,
          "password": null,
          "platform": null
        }
      },
      "groups": [],
      "data": {},
      "hostname": null,
      "port": "123",
      "username": null,
      "password": "telnet_pwd",
      "platform": "ios"
    }
  }
}

%script.py

nr = InitNornir(config_file="config.yaml")
cisco_telnet_hosts = nr.filter(F(name="telnet_device"))
results = cisco_telnet_hosts.run(
  task=napalm_get, getters=["show ip int brief"], enable=False
)

Unfortunately I faced below error:

  File "/home/administrateur/venv_nornir/lib/python3.8/site-packages/netmiko/base_connection.py", line 1709, in enable
    raise ValueError(msg)
ValueError: Failed to enter enable mode. Please ensure you pass the 'secret' argument to ConnectHandler.

I'm also facing the same issue without setting napalm>extras>optional_args>secret value.

Of course I understand that netmiko is expecting a secret value but I don't want to enter in enable mode. Could you please help?

NAPALM automatically will enter enable_mode for IOS and NX-OS SSH.

You need to pass this argument into optional_args:

force_no_enable=True

Note, this issue/question is probably better asked in the nornir-napalm repository.
