Cisco IOS XE gives superior programmability and automation capabilities that simplify community administration and scale back complexity. By using open standards-based APIs corresponding to NETCONF, RESTCONF, and gNMI, community directors can effectively provision and configure gadgets, minimizing handbook errors. The integration of Zero Touch Provisioning with DevOps toolkits accelerates system onboarding, whereas model-driven telemetry offers real-time knowledge assortment for enhanced monitoring and troubleshooting. Cisco’s automation options are extensible throughout your complete system lifecycle, supporting seamless software program upgrades and patching. These options enable our prospects to drive enterprise end result and be on the chopping fringe of community automation, enabling quicker, safer, and environment friendly community operations.
Ready to dive deeper into Cisco IOS-XE programmability, automation and telemetry? Join us at Cisco Live 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 Secure Zero Touch Provisioning to Streaming Telemetry to Atomic Configuration Replace. See the main points of the upcoming Cisco Live classes under:
Breakout Sessions
Secure Zero Touch Provisioning (SZTP) with Cisco Catalyst Switches [DEVNET-1249]
Zero Touch 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 gadgets. This session particulars the ZTP and Guest Shell options and explores some frequent primary and superior use instances. With the most recent launch of Cisco IOS XE, we now help Secure ZTP. This function contains an evidence of the important thing parts together with conveyed info, the possession certificates, and the possession voucher. The setup configuration for Secure ZTP will probably be coated on this session.
Atomic Config Replace with Cisco Catalyst 9000 [DEVNET-2385]
Atomic Configuration and atomic config exchange is changing into increasingly more requested, and this session dives deep into the newly launched options inside IOS XE and the Catalyst 9000 household. Being capable of handle configuration in an atomic style permits groups to extra successfully handle the change and community configuration drift. Using CLI or API the atomic config exchange options will probably be demonstrated to be able to instantly profit from leveraging both partial config or full config exchange. Easily exchange ACL, insurance policies, or interface configurations, or provide an entire config and that config will probably be set no matter current configuration.

Hands-on Labs
NetDevOps 3,2,1, Action! Reduce the Attack Surface 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 might be nonetheless storing your Ansible stock passwords in textual content recordsdata or desire a deeper understanding of securing IOS XE, this session is for you.
In this session, you’ll discover ways to securely use Ansible to allow AAA, configure robust SSH cipher suites, deploy MACsec, and allow different safety features primarily based on greatest practices. These greatest practices will assist you 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. This 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 individuals. Noise cancelling headphones will probably be supplied at every seat on this workshop.
By attending this DevNet Workshop, you’ll be eligible to earn Cisco Continuing Education (CE) Credits. Find particulars at: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/training-events/training-certifications/training/continuing-education-program.html#~qualifying-options
Skills, Lightning Talks & Cisco U
Configure IOS XE Using the CLI [DEVSKL-1110]
This session will cowl handbook CLI configuration for Cisco Catalyst gadgets. This session is paired with SKILLS-1111 instantly following. It is beneficial that you simply register for each classes, however this isn’t required.
Configure IOS XE Using Automation [DEVSKL-1111]
This session will cowl automating the method to Cisco Catalyst gadgets. This session is paired with SKILLS-1110 instantly earlier than this session. It is beneficial that you simply register for each session, however this isn’t required.
Automate Cisco IOS XE Device Configuration Using Terraform [DEVLIT-2083]
Terraform is a cloud-native infrastructure provisioning software with zero server-side dependencies and a single binary file. Terraform for Cisco IOS XE makes use of RESTCONF and the YANG interface. It is similar to Ansible tooling, and the 2 can be utilized collectively.
Getting Started with Secure Zero Touch Provisioning [DEVLIT-2062]
Zero Touch 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 gadgets. This session particulars the ZTP and Guest Shell options and explores some frequent primary and superior use instances. With the most recent launch of Cisco IOS XE, we now help Secure ZTP. This function, together with an evidence of the important thing parts, together with conveyed info, the possession certificates, and the possession voucher.
Maximizing Cisco IOS XE Efficiency 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. Instead of losing time troubleshooting, let’s work on fixing the troublesome issues! In this session, we’ll discover the capabilities of YANG-based APIs by the free and publicly accessible tooling YANG Suite. This software will assist allow our gadgets to be configured with ease at scale. We will reply questions corresponding to: how can I discover the equal YANG Model for the CLI I take advantage of immediately? We can even construct payloads to configure gadgets programmatically and generate Python Scripts and Ansible Playbooks to repeat these configurations at a bigger scale.
