This document discusses DevOps in networking and provides examples of using Python libraries and Ansible to programmatically configure and monitor network devices. It describes motivations for DevOps in networking like SDN technologies, availability of network automation tools, and cloud networking. Use cases presented include configuration of L2/L3 protocols and services and network monitoring. The document also discusses network APIs, models like YANG, and tools like Ansible, Python, and protocol standards. An example demonstrates using the PyEAPI Python library to read and create VLANs on an Arista switch and using Ansible to get LLDP neighbors from a Cisco device.
![Python Library and Ansible example
Read and Create vlans from Arista Device:
# start by importing the library
import pyeapi
# create a node object by specifying the node to work with
node = pyeapi.connect_to('veos01')
run_conf = node.running_config
print 'RUNNING CONFIG'
print run_conf
version_out = node.enable('show version')
print 'VERSION output', version_out
print 'My System MAC address is',
version_out[0]['result']['systemMacAddress']
# Get vlan endpoint
vlans = node.api('vlans')
# Get and print all vlan
vlan_out = vlans.getall()
print 'current vlans', vlan_out
# Create new vlan 1000
vlans.create(1000)
# Get and print all vlan
vlan_out = vlans.getall()
print 'current vlans', vlan_out
Get LLDP neighbors using Ansible from Cisco device:
Get_neighbors.yml:
---
- name: get neighbor data
hosts: 3k-grp1
connection: local
gather_facts: no
tasks:
- name: get neighbors
nxos_get_neighbors: type=cdp host={{ inventory_hostname }}
Execute playbook:
$ ansible-playbook get-neighbors.yml

- 3. What is Devops in Networking? Programmatic way to configure and monitor Network devices
- 4. Devops in Networking - Motivations • SDN technologies centered around splitting control, data and management plane.(eg: Cisco ACI, Vmware NSX, ODL) • Maturity of server automation tools. Tools like Ansible, Puppet, Chef are used for network automation. • Availability of Routers for modeling(eg: Cisco CML/VIRL, Arista vEoS) • Availability of Cloud routers(eg: Cisco CSR1000v, Brocade vRouter, Juniper’s vSRX) • White box switches (eg: Cumulus, Big Switch) exposing Linux OS. Traditional switch vendors are also exposing Linux OS in few of their products. • Opensource projects like Opendaylight, ONOS, OVS, Opencompute in the Networking space. • Container networking demanding simplicity • Cloud providers and big enterprises getting into networking space (eg: Amazon, Google, Facebook, LinkedIn)
- 5. Devops in Networking – Use cases Configuration: • Network wide L2/L3 configuration like vlans, routing protocols • Configuring services like firewall, load balancers • Declarative configuration rather than imperative Monitoring: • Check cable mismatches • Inventory checking • Performance monitoring • Check for error counters and thresholds • Analytics
- 6. Devops Networking Roadmap Past • Telnet, ssh access • Use CLI and parse raw text output. • SNMP is used for monitoring. Present • Use CLI or API with CLI underneath, get formatted json/xml output. • Use Python libraries and Ansible modules for abstraction. • REST access for CLI. (Eg) Cisco's NXAPI, Arista's Pyapi. • Examples of API libraries: Pycsco, Pyeapi, pyjunos, NAPALM Future • Model driven APIs • Use Yang models with REST/netconf/restconf/grpc transport • Models used for both configuration and monitoring • SDN Controllers using common YANG models.
