Automate Device Configuration Using APIs
You’ve learned networking skills in courses like CCNA. Now you can put your skills into practice using the hottest programmable networking devices. In this 8-hour workshop, you’ll hone skills in managing and configuring network devices using their APIs and automating management tasks using Python scripts with a Cisco software virtual router -- just like the professionals! Plus, you’ll get to join and participate in several professional software developer communities-of-practice such as Cisco DevNet, GitHub, and Stack Overflow. To participate, you'll need knowledge from CCNA: Introduction to Networks or equivalent networking skills and basic programming knowledge as found in PCAP: Programming Essentials in Python.
You'll Learn These Core Skills:
- Use Python with RESTCONF and NETCONF APIs to retrieve and update the device's configuration.
- Describe a different approach to software-defined networking (SDN), including central application policy control.
- Use software concepts and tools relevant to network programmability including Python scripting, Git, JSON, Postman, and APIs.
- Join developer professional communities such as Cisco DevNet, GitHub, and Stack Overflow.
