Network Automation using Python(Netmiko Module) on MikroTik
In today's video we will look into how to install Netmiko (devel) from source, and we will understand how to write a simple code in python to fetch configuration from the device. Leverage lists in python to send multiple lines of configurations in one go to the router. We face a problem in send_config_set and we resolve with for loop workaround. In the end I leave you with a small exercise that you can do online and try to solve this small puzzle.
