Introduction to Cisco Programmability

Introduction to Cisco Programmability

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the methods, applications and utilities available to programmatically deploy and manage Cisco devices. You will learn about the tools and techniques needed for Cisco programmability and will practice these before using them to solve scenario based challenges. The course will provide you with a foundational set of Cisco programmability skills using a variety of tools, a clear grasp of the terminology and options available and an understanding of which tools and techniques you will subsequently benefit from diving deeper into.

Objetivos

After completing this course you should be able to:

Compare and contrast examples of why programmability is needed and how this need is growing.
Review, download, and install various tools and techniques needed for Cisco programmability.
Create Python scripts to automate device administration.
Manage Cisco devices using the Cisco NX-API.
Manage Cisco ACI via the APIC GUI, Visore, & API Inspector.
Introduce Microsoft PowerShell Automate UCS PowerShell scripts with “Convert to UCS Commandlet”.
Deploy VMware’s Orchestrator and PowerCLI.
Create Orchestrator jobs and PowerCLI script.
