IPYNE - Intermediate Python for Network Engineers

The Intermediate Python for Network Engineers (IPYNE) course introduces the fundamental concepts of network programmability and automation using Python. It is designed for network engineers new to programming or professionals looking to enhance their automation skills through Python and Cisco APIs. The training focuses on practical use cases, such as automating device configurations, managing network inventories, and integrating with Cisco products like IOS XE, Meraki, and ThousandEyes for API automation. You will also learn the basics of creating reusable programs using object-oriented programming, building web interfaces with Flask, and interacting with large language models for advanced network automation. Upon completion, you will be able to write Python scripts, interact with network devices via APIs, and design automation workflows to streamline network management tasks.

This training also earns 29 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward recertification.
