Overview of this book

Networks in your infrastructure set the foundation for how your application can be deployed, maintained, and serviced. Python is the ideal language for network engineers to explore tools that were previously available to systems engineers and application developers. In this second edition of Mastering Python Networking, you’ll embark on a Python-based journey to transition from traditional network engineers to network developers ready for the next-generation of networks. This book begins by reviewing the basics of Python and teaches you how Python can interact with both legacy and API-enabled network devices. As you make your way through the chapters, you will then learn to leverage high-level Python packages and frameworks to perform network engineering tasks for automation, monitoring, management, and enhanced security. In the concluding chapters, you will use Jenkins for continuous network integration as well as testing tools to verify your network. By the end of this book, you will be able to perform all networking tasks with ease using Python.

Other tools

There are other network security tools that we can use and automate with Python. Let's take a look at a few of them.

Private VLANs

Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) have been around for a long time. They are essentially a broadcast domain where all hosts can be connected to a single switch, but are partitioned out to different domains, so we can separate the hosts out according to which host can see others via broadcasts. Let's look at an mapped based on IP subnets. For example, in an enterprise building, I would likely see one IP subnet per physical floor: 192.168.1.0/24 for the first floor, 192.168.2.0/24 for the second floor, and so on. In this pattern, we use a 1/24 block for each floor. This gives...
