Episode Description:
So you're automating your network, that's great. But are you finding yourself writing the same code over and over? Or building the same config snippets every other week? Wouldn’t it be great if you could create powerful, re-usable templates that you could use over?

Imagine a single OSPF template for any type of area, be it normal or stubby. Or a template that configured baseline TACACS, NTP, DNS, and logging no matter the region?

Learn how to make the dream a reality with tools like TextFSM and Jinja!
