Video credit CISCO: Program Networking Devices using their APIs

Imagine you have just unboxed a new router and you want to use APIs to configure it. Is there any way to move from CLI to APIs with the actual physical networking devices? Yes, there is – using Model Driven Programmability. To use network APIs, you cannot only programmatically interact with network controllers, but you can also use APIs to interact with the actual networking devices such as routers, switches, firewalls, etc. Learn about the new concept of Model Driven Programmability and so-called YANG device models. During this session, you will also hear about the NETCONF and RESTCONF protocols that let you programmatically interact with networking devices, such as learning to use Python with NETCONF to add a new VLAN or change an IP address.
