What you will learn

Learn network programmability with GNS3 and Python

Learn how to automate the configuration of network devices with Python

Why take this course?

Want to program networks using Python, but not sure where to start? Well, this course will show you how you can start start programming Cisco networks within 20 minutes.

NOTE: You will also get access to my new Python Network Programability course launching in July with your purchase of this course. Learn even more about network automation!

This course is practical. I won't talk about programming in abstract terms and make you wait before you can start automating networks. I will show you how you can quickly and easily start network programming by using GNS3, Cisco IOS and Python.

You will see demonstrations of the configuration of both Cisco routers and switches in GNS3. For example, how to configure multiple VLANs on a multiple switches, or how to configure OSPF on a router and more.

This course shows you practical examples of using Python to programmatically configure Cisco network devices rather then just talking about it.

The days of configuring Cisco networks only with the command line interface (CLI) are drawing to a close. You need to add network programmability using Python and APIs to your skill set.

Learn how to program Cisco networks using:

- Telnet

- SSH

- Paramiko

- Netmiko

- Loops

- Cisco best practices

Start programming Cisco networks today!

'WARNING READ THIS BEFORE YOU GET THIS COURSE! I would give 5 stars if it wasn't for the fact that he did fail to mention you have to pay Cisco $200 to be able to follow along, Amazing teacher don't get me wrong Probably the best on udemy only if yo don't have the money don't get this course

Very good content. but I still have several problems due to having WSL2, VirtualBox (for another course), VmWare Workstation, GNS3, and GNS3 VM installed. I already reviewed the troubleshooting videos, but even after following these steps GNS3 VM has stopped working Thank you!

The GNS3 setup tutorial was the clearest explanation I have seen so far. I got GNS3 up and running on my new Lenovo laptop in no time!

David, this is a great job... I 've been struggling for months with python. Now i am practicing with a lot of confidence and success....

Good match. I had a bit of trouble with following along. Some walkthroughs get outdated quickly - ie. Ubuntu Docker Container download process has changed since the video was recorded.

Once I'm starting and it says it is a course for beginners, It should have a first video of how to install Python and How to install GNS3, so we can start.

Like David said, there are many (mostly ) better ways to do these tasks in Python but as beginners, his method is the best because he shows you step by step and does not leave you wondering about stuff that other instructors assume you already know.

So far... jumps right into Python, at this point would not recommend for beginners. Examples were easy to understand and informative.

This is a very useful and professional course for network engineers who want to improve their network programming skills.

This course is really just a selection of videos that I could have just watched on youtube. The content of the videos are okay for a lab, but they do lack real world application. For example, one seldom implements SSH with static passwords. Furthermore, there were no exercises provided for the student to practice and cement what was presented in the videos. So, I would say this is more of a reference than an instructional course.

It is a great course for network engineers who want to learn python for automating the manual network CLI command process
