Description

Want to program networks using Python, but not sure where to start? Well, this course will show you how you can start start programming Cisco networks within 20 minutes.

NOTE: You will also get access to my new Python Network Programability course launching in July with your purchase of this course. Learn even more about network automation!

This course is practical. I won't talk about programming in abstract terms and make you wait before you can start automating networks. I will show you how you can quickly and easily start network programming by using GNS3, Cisco IOS and Python.

You will see demonstrations of the configuration of both Cisco routers and switches in GNS3. For example, how to configure multiple VLANs on a multiple switches, or how to configure OSPF on a router and more.

This course shows you practical examples of using Python to programmatically configure Cisco network devices rather then just talking about it.

The days of configuring Cisco networks only with the command line interface (CLI) are drawing to a close. You need to add network programmability using Python and APIs to your skill set.

Learn how to program Cisco networks using:

- Telnet

- SSH

- Paramiko

- Netmiko

- Loops

- Cisco best practices
