Automate Cisco switches config using NETMIKO

Netmiko is a simplified module to manage Network devices via SSH. This module is developed by Kirk Byers. I would recommend all network engineers to learn and equip this module to automate day to day configuration tasks.

I’ve written a demo script to disable SNMP Server’s “globalenforcepriv” on both Cisco IOS and Nexus switches. Using this script we could make the necessary changes on 100’s of switches in few minutes saving time and energies of network engineers.

Al Sweigart wrote a book called ‘Automate boring stuff using python’. This is one of the scripts which could help network engineers to automate monotonous tasks using Python and Netmiko module.
