Network Automation with Python

Abstract

This thesis aims to overview how to use Python and its variety library to automate network system operations. The idea will contain theoretically explained and practically demonstrated how the Python scripts will help automate the network tasks and make it easier for the network engineers to keep track of and manage the network system.

With Python, network administrators and engineers can create scripts and programs to automate various network operations, such as configuring routers and switches, monitoring network performance, and collecting network data. Python libraries such as Netmiko, Napalm, and Paramiko provide interfaces to network devices and allow automation scripts to interact with network devices programmatically.
