Hi,

From what I understood netconf is not needed for this module, but yes it is enabled from when i tried using junipers own-developed role from ansible-galaxy.  
I don’t want to use netconf as most vendors don’t have it.

might there be an application firewall between you and the switch that allows openssh, but not paramiko?
