This session particulars the ZTP and Visitor Shell options and explores some frequent primary and superior use circumstances. With the most recent launch of Cisco IOS XE, we now help Safe ZTP. This function together with a proof of the important thing parts together with conveyed data, the possession certificates, and the possession voucher. The setup configuration for Safe ZTP shall be coated on this session.
Arms-on Labs
LTROPS-1836: IOS-XE System Programmability and Automation Lab
This lab showcases the innovation across the API’s and streaming telemetry for enterprise and campus networks. This session will introduce gRPC tunnel and Safe Zero Contact Provisioning (SZTP) on Catalyst 9000 platforms. The YANG Suite tooling was not too long ago up to date on the Cisco DevNet platform is an integral a part of the programmability and automation lab, since YANG is used for each machine configuration in addition to for telemetry. This lab will cowl YANG Suite + Ansible integrations, which embody constructing a payload in YANG Suite and robotically producing an Ansible playbook to repeat that payload. Moreover, we are going to use Postman collections for EVPN config and administration. Equally, we will use Terraform for configuration administration on Catalyst 9000 platforms. Use circumstances relating to every of those options shall be explored in depth. Visitor Shell, EEM, Python API and NETCONF API’s may also be demonstrated!
LTRCRT-2005: Automating Day 0 Operations Utilizing IOS-XE System Programmability
You will have began studying community automation, nonetheless you continue to preserve your IP addresses with (outdated) spreadsheets, manually create community diagrams, and lack the large image and visibility to what you’re automating. Information accuracy is a rising downside in at this time’s agile environments, so be a part of us and take the elevator to the subsequent stage to embrace sources of reality!
On this lab, you’ll:
- write a Python based mostly net utility to pay attention for webhook occasions from a supply of reality
- dive into model-driven programmability utilizing YANG fashions to automate the deployment of the adjustments executed within the supply of reality
- create a Webex Bot and begin receiving real-time updates from the community adjustments to your Webex utility
This lab will get you began with applied sciences corresponding to NetBox, Cisco YANG Suite, NETCONF, and Cisco Webex REST APIs. The lab is designed for many who have already began scripting with Python, however wish to take your abilities to the subsequent stage and begin automating with accuracy.
