Parse Cisco IOS to JSON with Python and Netmiko

Network Automation Training Cisco DevNet DEVASC 200-901 Course: https://bit.ly/2ZmKu5q My courses: https://learn.gg/dataknox Automating our old legacy equipment seems almost impossible without either an insane mastery of regex or a ton of time (or both). These old Cisco IOS devices don't have APIs after all, so how can we work with their outputs in a programmatic way? Netmiko leverages a library called TextFSM which can use templates to parse standard outputs. Thanks to NetworkToCode for these glorious templates: https://www.networktocode.com/
