Designing and Implementing Cisco Network Programmability [NPDESI]
€2495, aangeboden door Global Knowledge
OVERVIEW
The goal of the course is to provide the delegate with the foundations of network programmability by learning how to minimize the amount of manual interactions (“CLIâ€) with the network and increase the use of scripts and automation tools to drive down operational inefficiencies. Within these goals, the learner reviews network programmability fundamentals such as using Linux and Python, common automation protocols such as NETCONF and REST, how they relate to YANG data models, SDN controller northbound and southbound APIs, how to use device APIs on various Cisco platforms, and how to get started using automation tools such as Ansible and Puppet.
OBJECTIVES
After completing this course you should be able to:
- Know how to minimize the amount of manual interactions (“CLIâ€) with the network, and increase the use of scripts and automation tools to drive down operational inefficiencies.
- Review network programmability fundamentals including Linux and Python, common automation protocols such as NETCONF and REST and how they relate to YANG data models.
- Understand SDN controlles including APIC, APIC-EM and OSC, as well as how to use device-level APIs such as Cisco NX-OS, IOS-XE, IOS-XR and ASA OS.
- Recognise  DevOps and Agile software development methodologies, and get started on using automation tools such as Ansible, Chef and Puppet.
