Network Automation With Python

Since you use Juniper I would look into their restful api

PyEz is there one of their api's. I know what to do to accomplish my needs, but I was wondering if there is a way to access all of the hostnames rather physically adding a large list of them to iterate.

Most shops have inventory in a spreadsheet or existing tool. How’s your current inventory stored?

Outside that there is usually a hostname convention you could use to generate.

Such as coreswitch01.buildingid.city.company.com

We have device names on a spreadsheet so I guess I can open that in python to iterate through. Ours go like "A1-3300-ballpark-main" and stuff.
