How to install NetYCE software8:38
Hi and welcome to this course,
!! Make sure you get the NetYCE VM downloaded !!
You need this for the course, check the link under Resources

After completing this lecture, you shall be able to install NetYCE VM on your Laptop/Desktop.
Once installed, you shall be able to perform its initial configuration :
1) Using ck_eth.pl which renumbers the ethernet interfaces and
2) Run net_setup.pl which configures the IP address on the interfaces either using DHCP or Static
3) Run as yce unix user , yce_setup.pl (And set DNS resolvable to N) to access the WebUI of VM using IP address.
Lastly, access the netYCE VM's WebGUI using browser

If you want to see the software in action, watch our free webinar. You can find the link under Resources.
Install update patch3:02
In this lecture you will learn how to apply the latest patch from wiki.netyce.com to your NetYCE VM.
The latest patch will load all the new features and bug fixes reported.
Add/Import CMDB Nodes6:28
In this lecture you will learn how to add/import your nodes (network devices - Routers/Switch/etc) into NetYCE.
Basic Command Jobs6:57
In this lecture you will learn to use Basic Command Jobs to run simple network configuration commands against the CMDB nodes imported earlier.
This way, for e.g changing SNMP community string or TACACS+ Key or some global level configuration can be executed on 100+ nodes simultaneously.
Configuration Change Management3:54
In this lecture we demonstrate how to use NCCM (Network Change and Configuration Management) using NetYCE by running periodic polling of selected CMDB nodes.
Only the changed configuration is archived, if there are no changes, the fetched config is discarded, thereby reducing disk space usage.
You can also see the configuration changes by comparing two archived configurations.
NCCM demo6:43
In this lecture, we explain how NCCM works.
Templating with Basic Command Jobs11:55
In this lecture we introduce you to templates, functions, variables and conditionals.
Use case 1 - Basic command jobs5:17
In this lecture we demonstrate how to bulk update the SNMP String on select devices.
Use case 2 - Basic Command Jobs4:18
In this lecture we demonstrate how to add/delete a VLAN across a series of switches using NetYCE Basic Command Jobs.
Going the API way2:02
In this lecture, we conclude this course, and give you an introduction of what lies ahead in course 2.
We show you how to use Postman to invoke API calls into NetYCE for executing Basic Command Jobs and everything else that can be done via Browser GUI.

Requirements

No Programming Knowledge necessary
Basic Networking Skills

Description

Building network automation solutions can be complex and challenging. As a network engineer, you basically have to choose between learning programming in Python or Ansible. Or keep using Excel and notepad ;-)

But keep in mind, if you are new to the Networking field, this course can be too difficult for you. So be sure that you at least understand the basics of networking before you step into the Network Automation world.

We'll teach you how to build network automation solutions in no time without coding and with the same flexibility. Sounds good? We even guarantee that you can build and deploy your first automation solution in less than 1 hour and use it for FREE!

How? We developed and implemented the GUI based automation platform NetYCE already at many customers for over 15 years. The platform lets you automate any network in no time without coding.

We give the core NetYCE engine for FREE including a course to get you up and running in less than 1 hour. No strings attached. You even get a lifetime license for unlimited production nodes.

This means you'll get full configuration management and job automation functionality without any limitations. Learn more below.

Network automation has never been this easy.

Who this course is for:

Network Engineers wanting to automate Network Configuration without Programming
Network Engineers wanting Design Driven Data Modelling
