Python Networking 101 Second Edition

<p>If you're a developer getting into networking for the first time or an IT pro looking to build practical automation skills this second edition gives you a clear and structured path to master essential networking concepts and become a confident hands-on Python network administrator. If you're looking to automate repetitive networking tasks build tools for infrastructure or become a network administrator you'll find this book teaching all the skills structure and mindset to make it happen.</p><p></p><p>You'll start off by getting the basics of Python down and then quickly move on to TCP UDP and socket programming. You'll <strong>work with protocols like HTTP FTP DNS and email and you'll use Python to automate everyday network tasks</strong>. As you read on you'll <strong>dive into modern network automation using Netmiko Paramiko and NAPALM manage asynchronous tasks with AsyncIO and set up monitoring and analysis workflows through SNMP ping3 iperf3 and Locust</strong>. You'll also <strong>use SimPy to simulate networks program firewalls scanning encryption and VPNs. You'll also get to work on configuration management and orchestration using Ansible</strong>. This will teach you how to <strong>automate server and network setups manage software lifecycles enforce standards and integrate Python for advanced logic</strong>.</p><p></p><p>This book is all about clarity and practicality using simple easy-to-follow examples that work in the real world. It's not meant to deal with complicated business scenarios but it does cover the most important routine and common jobs of network programming.</p><p></p><h2>Key Features</h2><p>Learn the basics of Python syntax and data structures for network automation.</p><p>Get the hang of TCP UDP and socket programming for real communication tasks.</p><p>Practice your skills with HTTP FTP DNS and email protocols using real-world Python scripts.</p><p>Set up SSH connections and device configurations using Netmiko Paramiko and NAPALM.</p><p>Take charge of asynchronous network operations with Python's AsyncIO library.</p><p>Keep an eye on look at and test networks using SNMP ping3 iperf3 Locust and SimPy.</p><p>Make your network security stronger by using firewalls scanning SSL/TLS and VPN configurations.</p><p>Take advantage of the NAPALM and Git integration to automate your configuration management and version control.</p><p>With Ansible playbooks roles and automation workflows you can orchestrate server and network setups.</p><p></p><h2>Table of Content</h2><p>Introduction to Python and Networking</p><p>TCP UDP and Socket Programming</p><p>Working with Application Layer</p><p>Exploring Network Automation</p><p>Network Monitoring and Analysis</p><p>Network Security and Python</p><p>Working with APIs and Network Services</p><p>Network Programming with AsyncIO</p><p>Network Testing and Simulation</p><p>Network Configuration Management</p><p>Ansible and Python</p>
