What it is and what it does
Genie Libs Conf is a configuration library component of the Genie test automation framework. It lets you define and manage network device topology and configuration through Python object attributes rather than raw CLI or API calls. The library abstracts device configuration into a common object structure that works across different operating systems and management interfaces (CLI, YANG, REST), making it easier to write portable, reusable network automation code.
The package has no runtime dependencies, so it installs cleanly. It is actively maintained and designed to integrate with the broader Genie framework for test automation and network device management.
Use it for
- Define network topology and device configurations in Python code for test automation scenarios
- Write portable device configuration code that works across multiple network OS platforms
- Build reusable configuration objects compatible with CLI, YANG, and REST management interfaces
- Integrate device configuration management into Genie test harnesses and automation workflows
