Create a multiple switch network

Create a multiple switch network

- [Narrator] So we've been able to automate a single device. Now let's extend the GNS3 topology and add multiple switches to the topology and automate multiple switches at the same time. In the same way as I've done with previous labs, I'm gonna start off with a simple script and then iterate it and make it more complex as we go through the various labs. So let's add five switches to the topology. I'll make this switch two. This can be switch three. Switch four, switch five, and switch six. Now if you don't want to watch me build this topology, skip ahead to the next video where I create the Python scripts. In this initial video, I'm gonna be building the GNS3 topology. So if you don't wanna watch me do that, then jump ahead. Let's assume in this network that we're using an out of band management network. It's a good idea to use an out of band management network when using network automation. The problem using an in-band management network is that you can have issues where Spanning…
