Cisco IOS XE presents superior programmability and automation capabilities that simplify community administration and scale back complexity. By using open standards-based APIs equivalent to NETCONF, RESTCONF, and gNMI, community directors can effectively provision and configure units, minimizing guide errors. The mixing of Zero Contact Provisioning with DevOps toolkits accelerates machine onboarding, whereas model-driven telemetry offers real-time information assortment for enhanced monitoring and troubleshooting. Cisco’s automation options are extensible throughout the complete machine lifecycle, supporting seamless software program upgrades and patching. These options enable our prospects to drive enterprise consequence and be on the reducing fringe of community automation, enabling quicker, safer, and environment friendly community operations.
Able to dive deeper into Cisco IOS-XE programmability, automation and telemetry? Be part of us at Cisco Stay EMEA in Amsterdam February 9 – 14, 2025!
These classes cowl subjects starting from getting began with Cisco IOS XE programmability and automation, tooling with YANG Suite and Terraform, and subjects starting from Safe Zero Contact Provisioning to Streaming Telemetry to Atomic Configuration Change. See the small print of the upcoming Cisco Stay classes beneath:
Breakout Classes
Safe Zero Contact Provisioning (SZTP) with Cisco Catalyst Switches [DEVNET-1249]
Zero Contact Provisioning (ZTP) permits us to automate the deployment Cisco IOS XE and Catalyst platforms on enterprise and campus networks utilizing the embedded CentOS “GuestShell” Linux Container and the Python and NETCONF API’s to fully onboard, configure and handle community units. This session particulars the ZTP and Visitor Shell options and explores some widespread fundamental and superior use instances. With the latest launch of Cisco IOS XE, we now assist Safe ZTP. This function contains a proof of the important thing elements together with conveyed info, the possession certificates, and the possession voucher. The setup configuration for Safe ZTP will probably be lined on this session.
Atomic Config Change with Cisco Catalyst 9000 [DEVNET-2385]
Atomic Configuration and atomic config exchange is turning into an increasing number of requested, and this session dives deep into the newly launched options inside IOS XE and the Catalyst 9000 household. With the ability to handle configuration in an atomic trend permits groups to extra successfully handle the change and community configuration drift. Utilizing CLI or API the atomic config exchange options will probably be demonstrated to be able to instantly profit from leveraging both partial config or full config exchange. Simply exchange ACL, insurance policies, or interface configurations, or provide an entire config and that config will probably be set no matter current configuration.
Able to get hands-on? Fill out this kind to remain within the loop about Atomic Configuration Change Updates and get hands-on the ACR function in our Early Subject Trials: https://kinds.workplace.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=Yq_hWgWVl0CmmsFVPveEDl-qhyOMAopIt0ITbss2ZKVUMFJQV01KSUlZRUk4S0VOWjg5TDM4TjdDVS4u&origin=QRCode
Palms-on Labs
NetDevOps 3,2,1, Motion! Cut back the Assault Floor of IOS XE with Ansible [DEVWKS-2008]
Did you hear we have to safe the community?
Are auditors wanting over your shoulder?
How about fixing these points with Ansible automation?
In case you are nonetheless storing your Ansible stock passwords in textual content information or desire a deeper understanding of securing IOS XE, this session is for you.
On this session, you’ll learn to securely use Ansible to allow AAA, configure sturdy SSH cipher suites, deploy MACsec, and allow different security measures based mostly on finest practices. These finest practices will allow you to meet compliance necessities together with CMMC, NIST, and others.
NOTE:
DevNet Workshop seating process is as follows: pre-registered attendees are seated first, waitlist and non-registered attendees are seated so as of check-in if a seat turns into out there. It is a hands-on DevNet Workshop the place you code together with an teacher and solely 16 laptops can be found for this workshop. Sound in Workshops is broadcast to wi-fi headphones worn by the members. Noise cancelling headphones will probably be offered at every seat on this workshop.
By attending this DevNet Workshop, you can be eligible to earn Cisco Persevering with Training (CE) Credit. Discover particulars at: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/training-events/training-certifications/coaching/continuing-education-program.html#~qualifying-options
Abilities, Lightning Talks & Cisco U
Configure IOS XE Utilizing the CLI [DEVSKL-1110]
This session will cowl guide CLI configuration for Cisco Catalyst units. This session is paired with SKILLS-1111 instantly following. It is suggested that you simply register for each classes, however this isn’t required.
Configure IOS XE Utilizing Automation [DEVSKL-1111]
This session will cowl automating the method to Cisco Catalyst units. This session is paired with SKILLS-1110 instantly earlier than this session. It is suggested that you simply register for each session, however this isn’t required.
Automate Cisco IOS XE Machine Configuration Utilizing Terraform [DEVLIT-2083]
Terraform is a cloud-native infrastructure provisioning software with zero server-side dependencies and a single binary file. Terraform for Cisco IOS XE makes use of RESTCONF and the YANG interface. It’s akin to Ansible tooling, and the 2 can be utilized collectively.
Getting Began with Safe Zero Contact Provisioning [DEVLIT-2062]
Zero Contact Provisioning (ZTP) permits us to automate the deployment Cisco IOS XE and Catalyst platforms on enterprise and campus networks utilizing the embedded CentOS “GuestShell” Linux Container and the Python and NETCONF API’s to fully onboard, configure and handle community units. This session particulars the ZTP and Visitor Shell options and explores some widespread fundamental and superior use instances. With the latest launch of Cisco IOS XE, we now assist Safe ZTP. This function, together with a proof of the important thing elements, together with conveyed info, the possession certificates, and the possession voucher.
Maximizing Cisco IOS XE Effectivity with YANG Suite [CISCOU-1043]
Working extra effectively and successfully with Cisco Catalyst IOS XE begins with utilizing programmability and automation to scale back troubleshooting time. As a substitute of losing time troubleshooting, let’s work on fixing the troublesome issues! On this session, we are going to discover the capabilities of YANG-based APIs by the free and publicly out there tooling YANG Suite. This software will assist allow our units to be configured with ease at scale. We’ll reply questions equivalent to: how can I discover the equal YANG Mannequin for the CLI I exploit as we speak? We may even construct payloads to configure units programmatically and generate Python Scripts and Ansible Playbooks to repeat these configurations at a bigger scale.
