Timeout with send_config_set
See original GitHub issueHi
I’m starting to learn Netmiko and have, very early on, encountered a time out problem when using send_config_set.
When using the send_command method to send a Show command on a Cisco switch, it returns the info as expected, but when sending config commands with send_config_set, I get a timeout.
Script:
from netmiko import ConnectHandler
switch1 = {
'device_type': 'cisco_ios',
'ip': '172.16.233.10',
'username': 'user',
'password': 'cisco'
}
net_connect = ConnectHandler(**switch1)
output = net_connect.send_command('sh ip int br')
print(output)
config_commands = ['int loop 0', 'ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0']
output = net_connect.send_config_set(config_commands)
print(output)
Output:

Process finished with exit code 1
I’ve connected to the same switch using the Python’s telnetlib module and it connects fine so the issue appears to be something with paramiko/netmiko using SSH.
