Automating Cisco Enterprise Solutions
Overview
An automation-focused pod for the CCNP Enterprise automation exam: real IOS-XE devices with RESTCONF/NETCONF and model-driven telemetry exposed, so code runs against actual network state instead of a mocked API.
Images included
- Cisco IOS-XE routers and switches (IOSv/IOL images) with RESTCONF/NETCONF enabled
- A Linux jump host image with Python, Ansible and Git pre-installed
- A Cisco CSR1000v router image with model-driven telemetry enabled
Environment & resources
Enterprise routers and switches with programmatic interfaces enabled, alongside a Linux jump host with Python, Ansible and Git pre-installed so automation code runs directly against the pod.
Mixed topologies: routers and switches alongside a firewall or application server.
FAQ
Do I need to know Python beforehand?
Basic scripting familiarity helps, but the images and tooling are set up around the automation patterns the exam expects.
Is telemetry streaming covered?
Yes, the router and switch images have model-driven telemetry enabled so streaming data is real, not simulated.
