When enroll in Python Programming for Cisco Networking Engineers training course at Global IT Training, you will do the following:

• Write and test several functional Python scripts.
• Write, edit, modify, and expand complex Python scripts to utilize APIs and data models.
• Use the following APIs to automate configuration and management of Cisco networking devices:
  
  • Paramiko
  • REST
  • XML
  • JSON
  • NETCONF
  • RESTCONF
• Use the YANG and MIT data models to read and manage objects to automate configuration and management of Cisco networking devices.
• Use the following DevOps / learning tools to enable efficient use of APIs and data models and effectively create Python scripts:
  
  • Postman
  • IDEs for both Windows and Linux
    • Notepad++
    • Sublime
    • PyCharm
    • Microsoft Visual Studio
    • Anaconda
    • Linux VI Editor
