Networking: Tools of the Trade

I’ve just completed a one-semester Networking Fundamentals subject at CSU. To say it was tough would be an understatement, and I’m not optimistic about my exam results. But I loved it, and I’m on a mission to build expertise. I’ve decided to work towards the CCNA.

Today’s diversion: automation tools. Any network bigger than a home office needs automation. Ansible appears to be the tool of choice for this.

John Capobianco’s articles are useful: 

Part 1 – Frameworks

Part 2 – Building in Ansible

Part 3 – Modernizing

I’m also working on Python: exercism.org
