Introduction on the Key Points As networks become increasingly hybrid and multi-vendor, vendor-agnostic automation becomes not just a good-to-have skill, but a must-have. Whether you’re working with Cisco routers, Arista switches, Palo Alto firewalls, or Fortigate appliances—your automation framework needs to talk to all of […]
![[Day #25 PyATS Series] OSPF Adjacency Validation Across Cisco/Arista/Palo Alto/Fortigate Using pyATS [Python for Network Engineer]](https://networkjourney.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Day25-PyATS-Series-OSPF-Adjacency-Validation-Across-Cisco_Arista_Palo-Alto_Fortigate-Using-pyATS.png)
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 […]

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 #22 PyATS Series] Interface Status Check Across Vendors Using pyATS for Cisco](https://networkjourney.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Day22-PyATS-Series-Interface-Status-Check-Across-Vendors-Using-pyATS-for-Cisco.png)
Introduction In every production network, ensuring interface health and status consistency across devices is crucial. A single downed port can lead to outages, suboptimal routing, or even compliance issues. Traditionally, engineers log into each device to verify interface states, which is error-prone and time-consuming. With […]
