Note: NAPALM support was removed from Netbox core in version 3.5.0 and has been moved to a plugin

NAPALM is tightly integrated into NetBox. NAPALM allows NetBox to fetch live data from devices and return it to a requester via its REST API. To learn more about what NAPALM is and how it works, please see the documentation from the library itself or the documentation from NetBox on how it is integrated.

To enable this functionality, simply complete the following lines in netbox.env (or appropriate mechanism):

• NAPALM_USERNAME: A common username that can be utilized for connecting to network devices in your environment.
• NAPALM_PASSWORD: The password to use in combination with the username to connect to network devices.
• NAPALM_TIMEOUT: A value to use for when an attempt to connect to a device will timeout if no response has been received.
