Latest addition to network testing and simulation: Containerlab

Until recently all existing virtual lab solutions were based on vendor appliances provided as virtual machines. Such an approach allowed us to emulate closely the real HW (some of those appliances had virtualized data planes as well - e.g. vEX, vMX). However this is not always the desired case.

Python Nornir for simplifying network automation: code examples

Manual management and configuration can quickly become overwhelming and time-consuming. Whether we talk about deploying configurations, running commands across devices, or collecting and analysing traffic data, there is always a need to automate repetitive tasks, improve network scalability, and enhance overall efficiency. Let’s imagine someone is facing the daunting task of updating login banners on numerous Cisco devices or gathering essential data through a single show command. Many engineers can wonder about the most efficient methods to accomplish these objectives.
