Dear Roger, great video to start out with PyATS. Do you know if its possible to structure a hosts/iventory.yaml file the exact same way as it needed to be structured for a testbed file to be used in PyATS. Say you structured your hosts/inventory file the same as was the example testbed.yaml file from your website on this topic, would the hosts/inventory.yaml work with Ansible?

Thanks Roger for this video. Can you please let me know. In which pyats library, connect() is define. Because i need to create same as connect function with new parameters.

[@RogerPerkin]

I don't quite understand your question? pyATS uses the testbed file to create a list of hosts which are what it uses to make the connection

On windows platform, I have VS Code & getting error while installing pyats. ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pyats[full] (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for pyats[full]

The issue still persists

Thank you Roger for the Video. I was able to get it to work using the steps you mentioned but when I try to run the same on a switch with TACACS, it just isn't working. Do you know of any changes in the testbed.yml or any other file that needs to be done for a successful run on a switch/router using TACACS authentication? Please let me know. Thank you

It depends at what level you are dropped into when you login to the switch using TACACs? When you log into the switch manually do you drop into Level 15 or do you need to type enable? With any network automation start with the baby steps - do it manually then move to automation run it on multiple devices and then pick up the strays that don't confirm. Down the line you will have all your infrastructure in line! It's not a quick process, but when it's running well it's like magic!

@@RogerPerkin thank you very much! I think I will do more testing on the level of login to the switch.
