Traceback error received in my Python code using netmiko

See more:

Python3.6

I'm using a sample Python script that performs an SSH connection to a switch. However, I'm getting a Traceback error that I cannot root cause.

Traceback issues:

python3 telnet2.py

Exception: Error reading SSH protocol banner

What I have tried:

My code:

from netmiko import ConnectHandler

#First create the device object using a dictionary
CSR = {
    'device_type': 'cisco_ios',
    'ip': '192.168.0.123',
    'username': 'cisco',
    'password': 'cisco'
}

# Next establish the SSH connection
net_connect = ConnectHandler(**CSR)

# Then send the command and print the output
output = net_connect.send_command('show ip int brief')
print (output)

# Finally close the connection
net_connect.disconnect()
