How to create an user over https with Python - CBS220 ?

Hello,

I am using a Cisco Switch CBS220-16P-2G
It does not come with telnet or ssh enabled by default. Only https.
( I do not think that this switch is running Cisco IOS XE. )

I just got the switch and discovered the RESTCONF.
Because of this, i am building a Python script to automate some stuff.

First, i would like to create an admin user, for which i want to provide my ssh key.

Then enable the ssh service on the switch.

So far, i have managed to modify the interfaces ( in this example, i am adding a description for gi 0/3):

import requests import json from pprint import pprint from dotenv import load_dotenv, find_dotenv import os load_dotenv(find_dotenv()) CISCOU = os.environ.get("CISCOU") CISCOP = os.environ.get("CISCOP") device = { "ip": "10.1.1.103", "username": CISCOU, "password": CISCOP, "port": "443", } headers = { "Accept" : "application/yang-data+json", "Content-Type" : "application/yang-data+json", } payload = { "ietf-interfaces:interface": [ { "name": "gi3", "description": "HELLO" } ] } # retreive all details url = f"https://{device['ip']}/restconf/data/ietf-interfaces:interfaces/interface" print(url) requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings() response = requests.patch(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(payload), auth=(device['username'], device['password']), verify=False) print(response)

I have searched about RESTCONF, but the examples that i have found do not work on my device.

Any recommendations on how to automate the user creation and enabling the ssh service on the switch, over https , please?
Thank you

CBS220 - small business switch, i do not believe that you looking to run program works on these models

that feature you looking to do only possible on enterprise-grade switches, which run IOS or IOSXE (other side nexus)
