Python Network Automation

Introduction

Network automation is the process of automating the configuration, management, testing, deployment, and operations of physical and virtual devices within a network. Every day network tasks and functions are performed automatically. Python provides a number of useful libraries for network automation such as Napalm and Netmiko. Napalm is a vendor neutral, cross-platform open source project that provides a unified API to network devices. It works with the most popular automation frameworks. Napalm makes it easier to configure multiple vendor devices. On the other hand, Netmiko provides useful API for SSH/Telnet automation. In this course, your will learn how to automate the configuration of network devices using NAPALM and Netmiko.
