Ansible for Network Engineers focuses on using Ansible to automate and configure network devices rather than its more traditional server management use case.

The course begins with the fundamentals of Ansible and playbooks before progressing to network-specific modules and integration with NAPALM. Participants also explore how Jinja2 templating can be combined with Ansible to create more consistent and automated network device configurations.

Hands-on activities follow the major sections of the course, giving participants practical experience in using Ansible to configure routers and switches.


Prerequisites

There are no formal prerequisite courses for this training. However, participants should have a good understanding of how IP networking works.

Learners who need to strengthen their networking fundamentals may benefit from completing a foundational TCP/IP course, such as TCP/IP Foundation for Engineers, before attending.

What You Will Learn

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Automate network-related tasks with Ansible,
  • Create and run Ansible playbooks,
  • Configure network devices using Ansible,
  • Use Ansible when troubleshooting network devices,
  • Work with Ansible network modules,
  • Use Jinja2 templates with Ansible to generate network configurations.
