Save Time: Automate OSPF on Cisco Routers with Python + Netmiko + Threading
In this Lab 02 you will learn how to automate OSPF configuration on multiple Cisco routers using Python, Netmiko, and Pandas.
Instead of manually connecting to each router and configuring OSPF one by one (which is slow and error-prone), we will build a script that reads an Excel inventory file and applies the complete configuration automatically.
This includes:
Creating Loopback interfaces
Configuring OSPF with router-id
Enabling OSPF on interconnection interfaces
Running the script in parallel using Threading (perfect when you have many devices)
This lab is part of my network automation series and is designed so you can apply it directly in real environments or in GNS3 / Eve-NG labs.
