Netmiko NetMikoAuthenticationException timeout

Hello. I have a simple example :

from netmiko import ConnectHandler
from netmiko.ssh_exception import NetMikoAuthenticationException, NetMikoTimeoutException

CONNECTION_PARAMS = {'ip': 'cloud-myt-qrator-6s254.yndx.net', 'username': 'netinfra-mon', 'timeout': 10, 'use_keys': True, 'key_file': '/home/netinfra-mon/.ssh/id_rsa', 'device_type': 'juniper'}

try:
    with ConnectHandler(**CONNECTION_PARAMS) as ssh:
        result = ssh.send_command('sh ver')
        print(result)
except (NetMikoAuthenticationException, NetMikoTimeoutException):
    print('Failed to connect to {}'.format(CONNECTION_PARAMS['ip']))

I can change connection timeout(NetMikoTimeoutException) with timeout parameter but it doesn’t effect NetMikoAuthenticationException.

SSH on this device is enabled but there is no such user so NetMikoAuthenticationException is in place. As I can see it is 60 seconds by default:

time ./bla.py
Failed to connect to cloud-myt-qrator-6s254.yndx.net

real    1m0.413s
user    0m0.296s
sys     0m0.024s

And I can’t find if there is a parameter to change failed auth timeout.

Yes correct, slow to authenticate for a number of reasons (distance, inefficient routing, bad firmware, etc)
