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 #16 PyATS Series] Automating Common CLI Commands (Multi-Vendor) using pyATS for Cisco – Python for Network Engineer](https://networkjourney.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Day16-PyATS-Series-Automating-Common-CLI-Commands-Multi-Vendor-using-pyATS-for-Cisco-–-Python-for-Network-Engineer.png)
Introduction Welcome to Day #16 of the 101 Days of pyATS (Vendor-Agnostic) series. In this lesson, we focus on automating common CLI commands across multi-vendor environments (Cisco IOS-XE, Arista EOS, Palo Alto PAN-OS, Fortinet FortiOS) using pyATS. As networks grow more complex, engineers often need […]
1. Introduction on the Key Points In the evolving world of network automation, learning how to integrate Python for Network Engineer tasks has become essential. If you’re a Cisco network professional looking to automate testing, validation, or configuration, pyATS (Python Automated Test System) is your […]
