Description
Network automation has become an essential skill for modern network engineers. As networks continue to grow in size and complexity, manually configuring and managing devices becomes increasingly time-consuming and prone to human error. Automation helps streamline repetitive tasks, improve consistency, and increase operational efficiency across network environments.
This course introduces network automation for MikroTik RouterOS using Python, the most widely adopted programming language in network engineering. Students will learn how Python can be used to automate configuration, management, and monitoring tasks on MikroTik devices, allowing large-scale changes to be performed quickly and reliably.
Rather than focusing on general-purpose programming, the course concentrates on practical Python skills that are directly applicable to network engineering and MikroTik administration.
Through practical examples and hands-on exercises, students will learn how to use Python scripts to automate common administrative tasks, reduce manual effort, and improve operational efficiency across MikroTik networks.
By the end of the course, students will have the knowledge and practical skills needed to begin automating MikroTik RouterOS environments using Python, Paramiko, and Netmiko.
