Why Learn Python as a Network Engineer

Four reasons to learn Python as a Network Engineer:

1. Efficient Documenting
Network engineers have a lot to document, and a lot of equipment to keep track of. Software configurations, like firewall ports, need to be documented too. Using Python, an engineer can programmatically write and read to an excel file.

2. Collect MAC Addresses
Whenever a new device is added to a network, a Python script can be triggered to ping that device. Once pinged, the MAC address can be extracted and written to a CSV file.

3. Speed up Processes
Allows you to perform tasks in minutes that normally could take weeks. Not only can you implement changes quicker, they can be reversed as well.

4. Increases Network Reliability
By removing the human element from networking, reliability is increased, leaving actual people available to take on more creative work, such as experimenting on the network. Changes can be made without any fear.
