Course Information

Course Name
DO457: Network Automation with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

Exam code
EX457

Duration
4 Days
Certification
Overview
Network Automation with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform (DO457) is designed for network administrators or infrastructure automation engineers who want to use network automation to centrally manage the switches, routers, and other devices in the organization’s network infrastructure. Learn how to use Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform to remotely automate the configuration of network devices, test and validate the current network state, and perform compliance checks to detect and correct configuration drift.
This course is based on Red Hat® Ansible Automation Platform 2.3
Following course completion, hands-on lab access will remain available for up to 45 days for any live course that includes a virtual environment.
Audience Profile
This course is designed for network administrators, network automation engineers, and infrastructure automation engineers who are responsible for deploying, managing, and automating the network infrastructure of their organization or enterprise.
Prerequisites
- Experience with network administration, including a solid understanding of TCP/IP, routers, and managed switches
- Familiarity with managing network devices from the command line, preferably with one or more of Cisco IOS, IOS XR, or NX-OS; Juniper Junos; or Arista EOS
- Knowledge equivalent to Red Hat System Administration I (RH124) or better is recommended
- Prior Ansible knowledge is not required
At Course Completion
- Prepare a development environment for Ansible network automation
- Write and troubleshoot effective Ansible Playbooks for network automation
- Gather information about network infrastructure configuration for infrastructure awareness and configuration backup
- Automate specific network administration use cases, including configuration of routers and switches, ports, VLANs, SNMP monitoring, and routing protocols
- Use Ansible Playbooks to manage devices from various hardware vendors, including Cisco, Juniper, and Arista
- Centrally manage Ansible content in Git and run it centrally with automation controller
- Reuse existing, tested network automation code with Ansible Roles, Ansible Content Collections, and Ansible validated content
Course Outline
Describe the fundamental concepts of Ansible and how it is used, and install development tools from Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform
Create an inventory of managed nodes, write a simple Ansible Playbook, and run the playbook to automate tasks on those nodes
Manage automation code in version control and run Ansible Playbooks from a centrally managed automation controller
Write playbooks that use variables to simplify management of the playbook and facts to reference information about managed nodes
Manage task control and task errors in Ansible Playbooks
Use Ansible Roles and Ansible Content Collections to develop playbooks more quickly and to reuse Ansible code
Automate common network administration tasks, discussing recommended practices and approaches to cross-vendor automation
Demonstrate skills learned in this course by installing, optimizing, and configuring Ansible for the management of network devices and infrastructure
