Introduction on the Key Points In the era of cloud-managed networks, Cisco Meraki has changed the way we deploy, monitor, and troubleshoot enterprise infrastructure. Gone are the days of telnetting or SSH-ing into each device individually — with the Meraki Dashboard API, you can programmatically […]
![[Day #52 PyATS Series] Writing pyATS Plugins for Vendor-Specific Features using pyATS for Cisco [Python for Network Engineer]](https://networkjourney.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Day-52-PyATS-Series-Writing-pyATS-Plugins-for-Vendor-Specific-Features-using-pyATS-for-Cisco.png)
Introduction — key points As a Python for Network Engineer, you’ll hit the same problem repeatedly: built-in pyATS/Genie capabilities are great, but your network has vendor-specific commands, telemetry, or workflows that need reusable automation. Instead of copying ad-hoc scripts into jobs, you should build plugins […]

Introduction Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Snooping is an essential security feature in enterprise networks. It acts as a firewall between untrusted hosts and trusted DHCP servers to protect against rogue DHCP attacks. Verifying the DHCP snooping configuration and ensuring the binding table’s integrity across […]

Introduction on the Key Points Welcome to Day #27 of the “101 Days of pyATS (Vendor-Agnostic)” series! Today, we tackle a crucial and often overlooked part of network observability—Syslog server configuration validation. When managing modern enterprise networks, ensuring that devices are correctly logging events to […]
