Keep getting ConnectTimeoutError

[Jeroen Valcke]

I keep getting ConnectTimeoutError
Logging in manually with the same username/password works fine.
I have netconf over ssh configured on this machine.

How can I best troubleshoot this?

Best regards,

Have you enabled netconf in the security zone host-inbound-traffic?

"set security zones security-zone XXXX interfaces ge-0/0/0.0 host-inbound-traffic system-services netconf"

Hi Ben,

Thanks for your feedback. It's not an SRX device, so I'm afraid that want help.

For anybody else with the same issue.
It was pointed out to me that forcing to connect over port 22 could solve the issue. And indeed it did.

>>> dev = Device(host='a.b.c.d', user='jeroen', password='password', port='22')
>>> dev.open()
Device(a.b.c.d)

Hi Jeroen,

I would still suspect there is still some sort of misconfiguration, as NETCONF by default should be listening on 830.

Using the standard ssh port is not wrong per se, just not standard practice.

I am also getting same error in 2017 :)

and changing it to port 22 worked.

This is my standard script and netconf, ssh is enabled.

from jnpr.junos import Device

dev = Device(host='10.198.123.205',user='labs',password='labs1labs',port='22')
dev.open()

print dev.facts['version']
print dev.cli("show configuration system services")

dev.close()

What Juniper platform and Junos version are you using?

Can you share your NETCONF service configuration?

show configuration system services netconf

Are you sure there are no network devices between the PyEZ client and Junos device which are blocking TCP port 830?

What's the result of executing "ssh -v -p830 -s <user>@<host> netconf" from the shell of the PyEZ host?
