I am surprised to find that I am the only troll to mention you didnt use a wild card mask for the ospf network statement! Obviously thats not the context and I understood the video very well. Thank you for taking the time!
Fair point you make. Typically, stiff wild card and authentication is best practice, as well passive interfaces and tuning areas to stubby if necessary. However, since purpose was not OSPF routing demo, I did cut corners 🤓
Great stuff, great video ! It really boosts my interest in working with Python and made me even more interested as being a traditional engineer performing all my tasks direct from the command line. so thank you a lot for this . more of these videos are appreciated !
what are you building. studied for my comptia a+ going for network+ as we speak and going for azure and powershell. any tips or advice for learning python.
Thanks a lot for watching @bill ! What I have found worked for me, is to learn the basics, then start building small scripts as projects to make my networking tasks easier. As you progress, your scripts and projects will get more complex. There is a lot to learn, and thankfully the community does share knowledge and support is there for any level. Once again, thanks for watching and for your feedback !
it's very good explanation, briefly and clearly, thank you ! I want to ask you, in this video, is it enough information for automation or just partly information to write scripts ? Could you give some additional information to improve this skills?
Thank you very much for watching and your questions. This video is just an introduction to get you familiar with Python, and the logics on how to use it. To improve, I suggest to build scripts which can automate small things, such as config backup, pushing configs and develop from there. Stay tuned, I will soon be adding more videos on Python for day to day network admin.
Thanks a million for your comment and question. I believe in windows, you could use “type” instead of “cat”, though I have not tested it. Please let us know if it works as expected.
Why learn all this Python when u can just use ansible. I don’t get it. I’m a 4 year network engineer heck learning ansible playbooks basically allowed me to immediately be proficient at cloud formation .yaml template atre easy. I don’t get all the extra Python scripting. I just like to make money fast as possible, I cannot learn all day.
I use and enjoy Ansible, yet it should not stop me from using or learning Python. This is for the same reason people chose to learn Spanish, or French for example. At the end of the day, it will add value and enhance skill sets.

@@NetworksLearning Thanks, I'll look forward to it.
Great video but on the os.system portion at 37:39 of the video, cat doesn't work on windows. Do you know what command I can use for windows?
Thanks a million for your comment and question.
I believe in windows, you could use “type” instead of “cat”, though I have not tested it. Please let us know if it works as expected.
@@NetworksLearning worked perfectly, thank you
@@jamesrob04 Excellent, and thank you so much for confirming this part, am sure it will help the community.
What program do you use for the lab where you have 2 routers? 50:49
@@markostetner1950 Using EVE-NG, but you can also use GNS3 or Cisco own CML-P.
Thanks ❤
You are very welcome !!
good stuff mate
Thanks a lot for your feedback and for watching !
Is this vscode installed on Linux ?
No, I used it on MacOS
I am sure it is a nice tutorial, but the script is so small I can hardly see what your typing.
Ok thank you.
