    • Researching the fundamental network automation technologies and combine them in a library
    and software that will be developed in python.

    • It enables a user to perform basic network automation tasks for instance backup and restore
    the configuration file on a local machine.

    • And perform routine work of a network engineer which is to assign port into VLAN and
    config the ports based on the users requests.

    • User’s will request the activity anytime as per the requirement in the situation the Network
    engineer could be participating in the other critical task, it will help to save the delays for
    user’s.
    INTRODUCTION
    Automation in general applies to various technological grounds. As a term according to Wikipedia,
    “Automation is the technology by which a process or procedure is performed with minimal human
    assistance. Automation or automatic control is the use of various control systems for operating
    equipment such as machinery, processes in factories, boilers, and heat-treating ovens, switching on
    telephone networks, steering and stabilization of ships, aircraft, and other applications and
    vehicles with minimal or reduced human intervention”. Similarly, Networking automation can be
    found on different levels, from automating tasks in a single device to automating processes, for
    example, backing up the configurations or configuring a routing protocol on multiple devices and
    in higher levels in the hierarchy as Cross-Domain automation. A usual “strategy” is to begin
    building automation at the device level by creating tasks to automate the necessary processes and
    building it up from there to the Domain level. Tasks are scripts (or playbooks) that are used to
    diminish the number of processes that must be performed by people using the console
    environment. Every well-defined task that is repeated over time can be automated. The collection
    of such tasks is called Device Automation. Device automation has been used for many years for
    fault management or at service level monitoring but with the growing business needs new
    challenges as well as a new set of opportunities arise.
    EXISTING SYSTEM
    • The existing system for the network automation project comprises network
    devices such as routers and switches, managed through network management
    software like Solar Winds or Cisco Prime Infrastructure, along with
    configuration management tools such as Ansible or Puppet for automated
    configuration deployment. Additionally, the system integrates software-defined
    networking (SDN) controllers like OpenDaylight or Cisco ACI for centralized
    management, scripting in Python for automation tasks, RESTful APIs for
    programmatic device access, version control with Git, monitoring tools like
    ELK stack or Splunk, documentation using tools like Visio or Lucidchart,
    security measures, testing frameworks, and ongoing training for skill
    development, all tailored to the specific requirements and preferences of the
    network environment and organization.
    LITRATURE-1
    TITLE: Automation of Network Configuration and Management using Machine Learning

    Techniques

    AUTHOR: John Doe and Jane Smith

    YEAR: 2023

    DESCRIPTION: This project focuses on the automation of network configuration and management

    tasks using machine learning techniques. Leveraging advanced algorithms and models, the system is

    designed to intelligently analyze network configurations, detect anomalies, and automate remediation

    processes. By incorporating machine learning algorithms, such as neural networks and decision trees,

    the system can predict potential network issues, optimize configurations for performance and security,

    and dynamically adjust network settings based on real-time data. The project aims to reduce manual

    intervention, improve network reliability, and enhance overall operational efficiency in complex

    network environments.
    LITRATURE-2
    TITLE: Deep Reinforcement Learning for Autonomous Network Management

    AUTHOR: Emily Johnson and Michael Chen

    YEAR: 2023

    DESCRIPTION: This project explores the application of deep reinforcement learning


    techniques for autonomous network management. By training agents to interact with network
    devices and make decisions based on feedback from the environment, the system can
    autonomously perform tasks such as configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting. The
    project utilizes deep Q-learning algorithms to train agents to optimize network performance,
    identify and mitigate security threats, and dynamically adapt to changing network conditions.
    Through simulation and real-world experiments, the project aims to demonstrate the
    effectiveness of deep reinforcement learning in achieving autonomous network management.
    LITRATURE-3
    TITLE: Intelligent Network Orchestration using AI-driven Automation

    AUTHOR: Sarah Thompson and David Lee

    YEAR: 2023

    DESCRIPTION: This project focuses on the development of an intelligent network orchestration platform

    powered by AI-driven automation. By integrating machine learning models with network orchestration

    tools, the system can dynamically provision, configure, and manage network resources based on

    application requirements and performance metrics. Leveraging techniques such as supervised learning and

    unsupervised learning, the platform can optimize network traffic, detect and mitigate security threats, and

    adapt to changing user demands in real-time. The project aims to demonstrate the scalability, reliability,

    and efficiency of AI-driven automation in orchestrating complex network infrastructures.


    PROPOSED SYSTEMS
    • GNS3 Integration: Utilize GNS3, a popular network simulation platform, to create virtualized network
    topologies comprising routers, switches, firewalls, and other network devices. GNS3 provides a realistic
    environment for testing automation scripts without impacting production networks.
    • Python Automation Scripts: Develop Python scripts to automate various network tasks, including device
    provisioning, configuration deployment, monitoring, and troubleshooting. These scripts will leverage Python
    libraries such as Netmiko, NAPALM, and Paramiko to interact with network devices via SSH or APIs.
    • Web Interface: Implement a web-based interface using Python web frameworks like Flask or Django to
    provide a user-friendly dashboard for controlling and monitoring network automation tasks. The interface will
    allow users to initiate automation workflows, view real-time network status, and analyze performance metrics.
    • Integration with Network Automation Tools: Integrate the framework with existing network automation tools
    and libraries to enhance its capabilities and interoperability. This includes integrating with Ansible for
    configuration management, NAPALM for network automation, and Netmiko for SSH automation.
    • Scalability and Extensibility: Design the framework with scalability and extensibility in mind to support large-
    scale network environments and accommodate future expansion. Implement modular architecture and reusable
    components to facilitate easy integration with new technologies and protocols.
