<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nI brought that lab into the 21st century and transformed it in such a manner that we could offer Lab as a Service to other teams. If you have not used NetBox you would be AMAZED at what is possible with free and open source software. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve posted this example<\/a> on github in case you have Jupyter Notebook and want to download. I’m not going to cover the process of getting these tools working together in this post but it’s not too difficult. In this blog post I will just be using screenshots taken from the notebook I created. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Jinja 2 Examples using NetBox data to render configs (Infrastructure as Code) <\/p>\n\n\n\n When I started working with the hardware team at eBay I was shocked to learn that they were tracking ALL of their assets with Wiki and spreadsheets. Everything was static, all of the IP addresses, the hardware locations, serial numbers, … Continue reading <\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nList all of the NetBox Models that are available<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nImport all the NetBox Models so we can start chaining results later <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe will use the IP address to find out all kinds of other things using different models<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe can also look at what device that IP is assigned to<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nUsing the IP address we can see all of the details of the device it’s assigned to <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
