It provides a range of high-level functions that allow users to easily execute commands, transfer files, and perform other common tasks on network devices. A simple application has been covered on Telcobox before. … Read more “Netmiko use cases in telco domain” »
SDN (Software-Defined Networking) is a networking architecture that separates the control plane, which determines how data is transmitted from the data plane, which handles the actual transmission of data. This separation allows the control plane to be implemented in software, rather than being built into networking hardware. SDN has a number of benefits in the … Read more “SDN” »
MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) is a networking protocol that is used to transmit data packets over a network. It works by encapsulating the data packets in a layer of header information that includes a label, which is used to route the packets to their destination. MPLS is commonly used in enterprise networks and service provider … Read more “MPLS” »
Netmiko is a Python library that is designed to simplify the process of connecting to and interacting with network devices using SSH. It is widely used in network automation projects and provides a number of high-level functions which can allow operators (users) to easily execute commands, transfer files and perform other common tasks on network … Read more “Netmiko” »
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a protocol for transmitting email messages between servers. It is the primary protocol used to send and receive email on the internet. When an email is sent, it is first transmitted to the sender’s mail server using SMTP. The server then looks up the destination email address and forwards … Read more “SMTP” »
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a standard protocol for transferring files between servers or basically computers over a network.
