Hey Vince, thanks for taking to time to read the blog! This should already exist for Netmiko-based SSH NAPALM drivers, i checked their documents. You would need to use `optional_args` dictionary to provide all of the additional Netmiko arguments. Mircea Ulinic
who is one of the awesome devs at the NAPALM project wrote this great blog - https://mirceaulinic.net/2016-11-17-network-orchestration-with-salt-and-napalm/

HTH
Take care!
