These options permit our clients to drive enterprise final result and be on the chopping fringe of community automation, enabling sooner, safer, and environment friendly community operations.
Able to dive deeper into Cisco IOS-XE programmability, automation and telemetry? Be part of us at Cisco Stay EMEA in Amsterdam February 9 – 14, 2025!
These classes cowl subjects starting from getting began with Cisco IOS XE programmability and automation, tooling with YANG Suite and Terraform, and subjects starting from Safe Zero Contact Provisioning to Streaming Telemetry to Atomic Configuration Change. See the main points of the upcoming Cisco Stay classes under:
Breakout Periods
Safe Zero Contact Provisioning (SZTP) with Cisco Catalyst Switches [DEVNET-1249]
Zero Contact Provisioning (ZTP) permits us to automate the deployment Cisco IOS XE and Catalyst platforms on enterprise and campus networks utilizing the embedded CentOS “GuestShell” Linux Container and the Python and NETCONF API’s to fully onboard, configure and handle community units. This session particulars the ZTP and Visitor Shell options and explores some frequent primary and superior use instances. With the most recent launch of Cisco IOS XE, we now help Safe ZTP. This characteristic consists of an evidence of the important thing elements together with conveyed data, the possession certificates, and the possession voucher. The setup configuration for Safe ZTP will likely be coated on this session.
Atomic Config Change with Cisco Catalyst 9000 [DEVNET-2385]
Atomic Configuration and atomic config substitute is turning into increasingly requested, and this session dives deep into the newly launched options inside IOS XE and the Catalyst 9000 household. Having the ability to handle configuration in an atomic trend permits groups to extra successfully handle the change and community configuration drift. Utilizing CLI or API the atomic config substitute options will likely be demonstrated so that you could instantly profit from leveraging both partial config or full config substitute. Simply substitute ACL, insurance policies, or interface configurations, or provide a whole config and that config will likely be set no matter current configuration.
Able to get hands-on? Fill out this manner to remain within the loop about Atomic Configuration Change Updates and get hands-on the ACR characteristic in our Early Subject Trials: https://varieties.workplace.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=Yq_hWgWVl0CmmsFVPveEDl-qhyOMAopIt0ITbss2ZKVUMFJQV01KSUlZRUk4S0VOWjg5TDM4TjdDVS4u&origin=QRCode

NetDevOps 3,2,1, Motion! Scale back the Assault Floor of IOS XE with Ansible [DEVWKS-2008]
Did you hear we have to safe the community?
Are auditors wanting over your shoulder?
How about fixing these points with Ansible automation?
If you’re nonetheless storing your Ansible stock passwords in textual content recordsdata or need a deeper understanding of securing IOS XE, this session is for you.
On this session, you’ll discover ways to securely use Ansible to allow AAA, configure robust SSH cipher suites, deploy MACsec, and allow different security measures based mostly on finest practices. These finest practices will make it easier to meet compliance necessities together with CMMC, NIST, and others.
NOTE:
DevNet Workshop seating process is as follows: pre-registered attendees are seated first, waitlist and non-registered attendees are seated so as of check-in if a seat turns into accessible. It is a hands-on DevNet Workshop the place you code together with an teacher and solely 16 laptops can be found for this workshop. Sound in Workshops is broadcast to wi-fi headphones worn by the members. Noise cancelling headphones will likely be supplied at every seat on this workshop.
By attending this DevNet Workshop, you’ll be eligible to earn Cisco Persevering with Training (CE) Credit. Discover particulars at: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/training-events/training-certifications/coaching/continuing-education-program.html#~qualifying-options
Abilities, Lightning Talks & Cisco U
Configure IOS XE Utilizing the CLI [DEVSKL-1110]
This session will cowl handbook CLI configuration for Cisco Catalyst units. This session is paired with SKILLS-1111 instantly following. It is strongly recommended that you simply register for each classes, however this isn’t required.
Configure IOS XE Utilizing Automation [DEVSKL-1111]
This session will cowl automating the method to Cisco Catalyst units. This session is paired with SKILLS-1110 instantly earlier than this session. It is strongly recommended that you simply register for each session, however this isn’t required.
Automate Cisco IOS XE Machine Configuration Utilizing Terraform [DEVLIT-2083]
Terraform is a cloud-native infrastructure provisioning device with zero server-side dependencies and a single binary file. Terraform for Cisco IOS XE makes use of RESTCONF and the YANG interface. It’s similar to Ansible tooling, and the 2 can be utilized collectively.
Getting Began with Safe Zero Contact Provisioning [DEVLIT-2062]
Zero Contact Provisioning (ZTP) permits us to automate the deployment Cisco IOS XE and Catalyst platforms on enterprise and campus networks utilizing the embedded CentOS “GuestShell” Linux Container and the Python and NETCONF API’s to fully onboard, configure and handle community units. This session particulars the ZTP and Visitor Shell options and explores some frequent primary and superior use instances. With the most recent launch of Cisco IOS XE, we now help Safe ZTP. This characteristic, together with an evidence of the important thing elements, together with conveyed data, the possession certificates, and the possession voucher.
Maximizing Cisco IOS XE Effectivity with YANG Suite [CISCOU-1043]
Working extra effectively and successfully with Cisco Catalyst IOS XE begins with utilizing programmability and automation to scale back troubleshooting time. As a substitute of losing time troubleshooting, let’s work on fixing the tough issues! On this session, we’ll discover the capabilities of YANG-based APIs by means of the free and publicly accessible tooling YANG Suite. This device will assist allow our units to be configured with ease at scale. We’ll reply questions similar to: how can I discover the equal YANG Mannequin for the CLI I exploit right this moment? We can even construct payloads to configure units programmatically and generate Python Scripts and Ansible Playbooks to repeat these configurations at a bigger scale.
