Drivers

Autonet supports two types of pluggable driver: Backend drivers and device drivers. Backend drivers are used as a means of inventorying devices to be managed by autonet. Device drivers are used to convert Autonet configuration objects to device native configuration and vice-versa.

Autonet ships with three backend drivers in it’s source tree. Their documentation is indexed in the table below.

Backend Drivers:

• Device Config Driver
• YAML Driver
• NetBox Driver

Device drivers are kept as their own packages and will have their own external documentation. However, generally speaking, it’s not expected that a device driver will require any special configuration. For more information on developing device drivers, see autonet.drivers.device.driver
