What are some good Python automation project ideas?

The network is changing. In this new world of network automation and network programmability, you need to learn Python. Why? Because Python is one of the basic skills of a next-generation network engineer. This course is not like other Python courses. I am not going to teach you Python from a developer's point of view. The course focuses on Cisco IOS network automation - not software development or server automation. The course is practical and applicable to network engineers today. After attending this course, you will be able to start automating your Cisco networks right away. 

How can I learn to automate things using Python?

Learn Network Programmability and Network Automation using GNS3 and Python.

This course was created for network engineers. There are too many other Python courses out there that try to make network engineers software developers. Instead of teaching network automation, they teach you Python theory. This course is different.

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 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 than 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 skillet.
