This function together with an evidence of the important thing parts together with conveyed data, the possession certificates, and the possession voucher. The setup configuration for Safe ZTP can be lined on this session.
Fingers-on Labs
LTROPS-1836: IOS-XE Gadget Programmability and Automation Lab
This lab showcases the innovation across the API’s and streaming telemetry for enterprise and campus networks. This session will introduce gRPC tunnel and Safe Zero Contact Provisioning (SZTP) on Catalyst 9000 platforms. The YANG Suite tooling was lately up to date on the Cisco DevNet platform is an integral a part of the programmability and automation lab, since YANG is used for each system configuration in addition to for telemetry. This lab will cowl YANG Suite + Ansible integrations, which embody constructing a payload in YANG Suite and routinely producing an Ansible playbook to repeat that payload. Moreover, we are going to use Postman collections for EVPN config and administration. Equally, we are able to use Terraform for configuration administration on Catalyst 9000 platforms. Use circumstances relating to every of those options can be explored in depth. Visitor Shell, EEM, Python API and NETCONF API’s can even be demonstrated!
LTRCRT-2005: Automating Day 0 Operations Utilizing IOS-XE Gadget Programmability
You have got began studying community automation, nonetheless you continue to keep your IP addresses with (outdated) spreadsheets, manually create community diagrams, and lack the large image and visibility to what you might be automating. Information accuracy is a rising downside in at the moment’s agile environments, so be a part of us and take the elevator to the following degree to embrace sources of reality!
On this lab, you’ll:
