Abstract

In this final chapter, you will put together the ten Python stand-alone applications we developed in Chapter 18. The application will be a fully functional Cisco IOS/IOS-XE upgrade application consisting of pre-check, IOS upload, pre-reload check, pre-reload configuration backup, reload, and post-upgrade verification check. We have been upgrading IOS on Cisco network devices manually for years, but now you can develop and combine various Python tools to let your Python code do to work for you.
