Course Python Network Automation

In the course Python Network Automation participants learn to use Python and special Python networking libraries to automatically manage and configure networks. The focus is on the use of Python for interacting with network equipment. The course uses the Graphical Network Simulator-3, GNS3, with which complex networks can be simulated. Network engineers can use the acquired knowledge directly in their daily work.

    Python Intro

    The course starts with a discussion of the basic Python syntax with variables, data types, control flow, functions, modules and packages.

    Classes and Objects

    Next attention is paid to classes and objects in Python, including encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism and abstract classes.

    Python Libraries

    Widely used Python libraries such as those for regular expressions and the access of files including XML and JSON files are on the program of the course as well.

    Python Network Access

    The Graphical Network Simulator-3, GNS3, is then loaded with images of Cisco IOS, Juniper vSRX and Arista vEOS to access and configure these network systems with Python.

    Serial Connections

    Setting up serial connections, encoding and decoding, configuring Cisco devices and module enhancement are treated also.

    Network Automation

    Then the course will discuss the automation of networks with the SSH tools Paramiko and Netmiko and the open source Napalm Network API.

    Parallel Processing

    Finally, after a treatment of making backups, parallel processing in Python with multiple threads and processes is on the program. Netmiko is used here as well.
