[Day #25 PyATS Series] OSPF Adjacency Validation Across Cisco/Arista/Palo Alto/Fortigate Using pyATS [Python for Network Engineer]

[Day #25 PyATS Series] OSPF Adjacency Validation Across Cisco/Arista/Palo Alto/Fortigate Using pyATS [Python for Network Engineer]

Introduction Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a critical Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) for routing within an enterprise or data center network. Verifying OSPF adjacencies manually across multi-vendor environments—Cisco, Arista, Palo Alto, and Fortinet—can be time-consuming and error-prone. With pyATS, network engineers can automate OSPF […]

[Day #24 PyATS Series] BGP Neighbor Validation (Multi-Vendor) Using pyATS for Cisco

[Day #24 PyATS Series] BGP Neighbor Validation (Multi-Vendor) Using pyATS for Cisco [Python for Network Engineer]

Introduction Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the backbone of modern enterprise and service provider networks, enabling scalable routing between different autonomous systems. Validating BGP neighbor relationships across a multi-vendor environment is critical for ensuring routing stability and avoiding outages. Traditionally, engineers log into each device […]

[Day #15 PyATS Series] Building a Reusable Test Template for All Vendors using pyATS for Cisco – Python for Network Engineer

[Day #15 PyATS Series] Building a Reusable Test Template for All Vendors using pyATS for Cisco [Python for Network Engineer]

Introduction Welcome to Day 15 of the 101 Days of pyATS (Vendor-Agnostic) journey. As a network engineer stepping into the world of automation, one of the first challenges you’ll face is code duplication. When you manage networks with multiple vendors—Cisco, Arista, Palo Alto, Fortinet—it’s common […]

[Day #14 PyATS Series] Using pyATS “Jobs” for Multi-Device Tests with Cisco [Python for Network Engineer]

[Day #14 PyATS Series] Using pyATS “Jobs” for Multi-Device Tests with Cisco [Python for Network Engineer]

Introduction As networks grow in scale and complexity, the ability to automate multi-device testing becomes a critical skill for any Python for Network Engineer practitioner. Cisco’s pyATS framework introduces the concept of Jobs, which allow engineers to orchestrate multiple testscripts and devices simultaneously. Instead of […]
