Become an expert in implementing advanced, network-related tasks
with Python. About This Book * Build the skills to perform all
networking tasks using Python with ease * Use Python for network
device automation, DevOps, and software-defined networking * Get
practical guidance to networking with Python Who This Book Is For
If you are a network engineer or a programmer who wants to use
Python for networking, then this book is for you. A basic
familiarity with networking-related concepts such as TCP/IP and a
familiarity with Python programming will be useful. What You Will
Learn * Review all the fundamentals of Python and the TCP/IP suite
* Use Python to execute commands when the device does not support
the API or programmatic interaction with the device * Implement
automation techniques by integrating Python with Cisco, Juniper,
and Arista eAPI * Integrate Ansible using Python to control Cisco,
Juniper, and Arista networks * Achieve network security with Python
* Build Flask-based web-service APIs with Python * Construct a
Python-based migration plan from a legacy to scalable SDN-based
network. In Detail This book begins with a review of the TCP/ IP
protocol suite and a refresher of the core elements of the Python
language. Next, you will start using Python and supported libraries
to automate network tasks from the current major network vendors.
We will look at automating traditional network devices based on the
command-line interface, as well as newer devices with API support,
with hands-on labs. We will then learn the concepts and practical
use cases of the Ansible framework in order to achieve your network
goals. We will then move on to using Python for DevOps, starting
with using open source tools to test, secure, and analyze your
network. Then, we will focus on network monitoring and
visualization. We will learn how to retrieve network information
using a polling mechanism, ?ow-based monitoring, and visualizing
the data programmatically. Next, we will learn how to use the
Python framework to build your own customized network web services.
In the last module, you will use Python for SDN, where you will use
a Python-based controller with OpenFlow in a hands-on lab to learn
its concepts and applications. We will compare and contrast
OpenFlow, OpenStack, OpenDaylight, and NFV. Finally, you will use
everything you've learned in the book to construct a migration plan
to go from a legacy to a scalable SDN-based network. Style and
approach An easy-to-follow guide packed with hands-on examples of
using Python for network device automation, DevOps, and SDN.
