Automation can make a big difference in repetitive networking tasks, and that’s just what we did to streamline an enterprise switch upgrade using scripts we created with Python and a set of open-source tools.
The project reaped several benefits, three of which were eliminating much human error inherent in the manual process, faster deployment overall, and significant cost savings.
Upgrading a large, switched network is always a challenge. The typical solution is to carefully document the old switch configurations and the wiring to the patch panel, then manually configure the new switches and replace the wiring. The endpoints must be carefully tracked so they are assigned to the appropriate VLAN and have the correct interface configuration.
