CCNA Automation: Hands-On Practical Labs

Are you a network engineer who wants to stop doing things manually and start letting code do the work for you?

This hands-on lab course is your complete practical guide to network automation — built from the ground up for beginners with zero prior programming or scripting experience.

No assumptions. No shortcuts. Just clear, step-by-step labs that take you from "What is Python?" all the way to automating real Cisco devices with professional-grade tools.

Across 14 comprehensive lab guides, you will work inside a fully configured topology featuring Cisco IOSv routers, IOSvL2 switches, CSR1000v, NX-OSv, and an Ubuntu automation workstation — everything you need to practice in a realistic environment.

You will write Python scripts, call REST APIs, use Git for version control, build Ansible playbooks, work with RESTCONF and NETCONF, automate Cisco Meraki and Catalyst Center via DevNet Sandbox, containerize your tools with Docker, and even send live network alerts through Cisco Webex — all with working code you can keep and build on.

In case you have questions or concern, please ask our leaning advisor. 

Every lab is self-contained, beginner-friendly, and packed with real-world context. Theory sections explain the why, not just the how — so you genuinely understand what your code is doing. Verification checklists at the end of each lab ensure you never move forward until you have got it right.

Whether you are preparing for the Cisco CCNA Automation 200-901 exam or simply want to future-proof your networking career, this course gives you the practical skills that employers are hiring for right now.

Automation is no longer optional — and with UniNets, you are in the best hands to master it.
