Automating Tribal Network Knowledge with Itential’s Command Templates

Most network teams are limited by traditional network automation methods that require them to learn complex programming languages and development environments. This high skills gap means they are limited in what they can automate and how much they can automate, further hindering the widespread deployment of network automation. To help network teams overcome this burden, Itential’s low-code network automation platform provides network-centric features such as command templates that remove the programming and development requirements of traditional methods. Itential’s command templates give teams what they need to provide immediate value by expressing existing networking knowledge and processes in a simple format that replicate their existing manual processes. In this live demo, you will see how to: • Transfer existing network knowledge into command templates. • Quickly build automated pre- and post-check tasks. • Execute a series of complex network commands over multiple devices. • Automate processes to determine network configuration and state.
