Netmiko MikroTik RouterOS SSH key login example

In our previous example Netmiko MikroTik RouterOS minimal example we showed how to login to a RouterOS device using netmikoand password-based login.

#!/usr/bin/env python3  
from netmiko import ConnectHandler
import os.path
mikrotik = {
    'device_type': 'mikrotik_routeros',
    'host':   '192.168.88.1',
    'username': 'admin',
    'key_file': os.path.expanduser("~/.ssh/id_mikrotik"),
}
with ConnectHandler(**mikrotik) as mikrotik_connection:
    print(mikrotik_connection.send_command(f'/system/identity/print', cmd_verify=False))

Example output:

name: MySwitch01
