Learn how to simplify Cisco network management with practical Python automation.
Modern networks demand speed, accuracy, and scalability. Hands-On Cisco Automation with Python teaches network professionals how to automate common Cisco IOS tasks using Python and three widely adopted tools: Netmiko, NAPALM, and Nornir.
This practical, example-driven guide shows how to replace repetitive manual work with reusable scripts that configure devices, collect operational data, and validate network state. Readers follow clear, step-by-step examples that explain both the Python code and the Cisco IOS commands involved.
The book focuses on real-world automation, not theory, making it ideal for readers new to network automation who want immediate, usable results.
What You’ll Learn
- Automate Cisco IOS access and command execution with Python
- Manage and validate configurations using NAPALM
- Scale automation across multiple devices with Nornir
- Work with structured data such as JSON and Python dictionaries
- Build reusable scripts to improve consistency and reduce errors
Who This Book Is For
- Network engineers and administrators
- CCNA and early-career networking professionals
- IT practitioners transitioning into automation
- Anyone managing Cisco IOS-based networks

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
