Supported Platforms

How Multi-Vendor Support Works

Inishi uses NAPALM (opens in a new tab) under the hood — the same library used by major Python network automation tools. This means:

• Consistent interface across vendors — the same questions work on Cisco, Arista, and Juniper
• Battle-tested — NAPALM has been production-hardened for years
• No vendor lock-in — easily add new devices as your network grows
