Networks continue to grow in size, complexity, and importance, most businesses want their networks to be flexible, reliable, and cost efficient. Network operators need to avoid downtime due to human error, and they need to manage growing networks without increasing network support staff. How can you balance these competing realities? With automation!This practical guide will help you understand the automation features of Junos, show you the tools available to program Junos, and explain which tool is best for your particular network requirement.This book covers: The Junos management architectureAPIs for interacting with JunosLibraries for simplifying the interaction with JunosOn-device automation scripts to modify and extend Junos behaviorExamples of automating network provisioning, monitoring, and troubleshootingMechanisms for performing high-speed changes (SDN)

How can you grow and maintain a reliable, flexible, and cost-efficient network in the face of ever-increasing demands? With this practical guide, network engineers will learn how to program Juniper network devices to perform day-to-day tasks, using the automation features of the Junos OS.

Junos supports several automation tools that provide powerful solutions to common network automation tasks. Authors Jonathan Looney and Stacy Smith, senior testing engineers at Juniper, will help you determine which tools work best for your particular network requirements. If you have experience with Junos, this book will show you how automation can make a big difference in the operation of your existing network.

Manage Junos software with remote procedure calls and a RESTful APIRepresent devices as Python objects and manage them with Python’s PyEZ packageCustomize Junos software to detect and block commits that violate your network standardsDevelop custom CLI commands to present information the way you wantProgram Junos software to automatically respond to network eventsRapidly deploy new Junos devices into your network with ZTP and Netconify toolsLearn how to use Ansible or Puppet to manage Junos software
