  • Ad hoc commands: You will learn how you can use ad hoc commands to pull quick device information and for troubleshooting

  • Playbooks for Cisco: 8 Playbooks, covering device backups, setting banner, static routing & route re-distribution, OSPF, BGP, and access control.

  • Playbooks for Junos: 5 Playbooks, covering device backups, setting up static routing, enable system services, setup logging

  • Advance Ansible Concepts: Ansible loops, Variable scopes, Use of include statement

  • Playbooks for Arista: 4 Playbooks, covering device info collection, create vlans & SVIs, static routing, and layer 2 port configurations

Select this course, IF

  1. You are a network engineer and want to start working on automation - DevNet

  2. You want to become more productive by doing repetitive tasks using automation

  3. You are looking for a course that covers more than Cisco IOS - you will get exposure to Cisco, Juniper and Arista devices.
