Fundamentals of Network Automation Using Python

Fundamentals of Network Automation Using Python provides a starting point for network engineers to understand how programming can be used to automate routine network operations. It begins with setting up a Python environment and gradually builds core programming skills such as working with variables, strings, numbers, lists, dictionaries, nested data structures, functions, conditional logic, loops, file handling, directory operations, and executing system commands. The course then introduces Netmiko as a practical tool for interacting with network devices, demonstrating how Python scripts can establish connections to Cisco equipment and execute operational commands remotely. Designed for beginners in scripting, it acts as a practical transition from manual command-line configuration to efficient, repeatable, and scalable network automation workflows.
