“…In addition, it can be used in data centers, in the cloud, and in wireless networks; that is, any network equipment that uses the command line interface (CLI) or an application programming interface (API) can be automated [42]. In recent years, as organizations have begun to digitally transform, their technology infrastructure has become much more complex, which has made way for new open-source programming languages, such as Python and Ruby, which have gained popularity for their ease of use and flexibility of work [42,46,47].…”

The pandemic caused by COVID-19 impacted the entire world, but the significant challenges to be faced during this crisis opened an opportunity for organizations to evolve toward a digital transformation. Educational institutions were a concrete example of the use of technologies, which were abruptly incorporated into the teaching–learning model. Although this initiative was initially a challenge for teachers and students, it has now become a tool for new innovative teaching models, such as hybrid, online, and flexible models. The impact of technology used in education has been beneficial due to emerging technologies (virtual reality, augmented reality, games, web applications, mobile applications, etc.), which have served as tools to facilitate and motivate studying. These educational trends contribute directly to the fourth Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). This research analyzes whether the use of a web application, as a support in the educational model, can make students better understand the subjects of network infrastructure and be more efficient when configuring equipment in a data network. Therefore, this research is based on the design of an educational web application based on Python libraries, which allows the configuration of networking equipment based on the concept of network automation with the application of a graphical user interface (GUI). The web application can be deployed with communication equipment or in conjunction with the GNS3 simulator. This versatility allows this web tool to be applied to the teaching of network equipment configuration in any mode of study (classroom, online, hybrid, or flexible). The results obtained in this research are encouraging and open the way for the implementation of network automation and Python libraries for educational applications that can be important tools within the teaching and learning models of higher education.

Data traffic on a dense network is a threat to cybercrime and a high vulnerability for technology companies so that the challenges to prevent it will be more diverse. Adding a strengthening of the boundary wall or firewall and sorting data through packet filtering plus writing firewall rules to prevent malware and attacks from outside at the network device level is an alternative to protect the traffic you have. When heavy traffic makes data exchange uncontrollable, this research will create an automation design so that the sorting of incoming data packets through selection based on the specified rules runs in real-time so that the prevention of crime that enters the network is more swiftly handled. The system is running successfully by connecting the MQTT Collector as a subscriber that uses the python programming language to retrieve profiling data from the IP Profile database. The system was tested on a mikrotik router RB951Ui-2HnD which then the blocking track record will be stored in the Dynamic Firewall Data database in MongoDB. Also added a tool for controlling data in storage in the form of a program release. The results of the test show that data with an average base score above 20 is blocked and then stored in the block list in checking the collection in the database every 30 seconds. In addition, the data in the database will be checked every day within 30 days which will then be released and recorded in the release log in MongoDB.

“…Zhou et al, in 2014, explained various issues regarding the RESTful protocol for computer network design needed with programming approaches and how the HTTP protocol can be used to control a computer network device with the advantages of RESTful [8]. Mihaila, in 2017, made comparative automation comparisons using several methods between the NAPALM, Netmiko, and Paramiko methods [12]. He demonstrated each method of configuring network devices.…”

The use of information technology these days are very high. From business through education activities tend to use this technology most of the time. Information technology uses computer networks for integration and management data. To avoid business problems, the number of network devices installed requires a manageable network configuration for easier maintenance. Traditionally, each of network devices has to be manually configured by network administrators. This process takes time and inefficient. Network automation methods exist to overcome the repetitive process. Design model uses a web-based application for maintenance and automates networking tasks. In this research, the network automation system implemented and built a controller application that used REST API (Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface) architecture and built by Django framework with Python programming language. The design modeled namely As-RaD System. The network devices used in this research are Cisco CSR1000V because it supports REST API communication to manage its network configuration and could be placed on the server either. The As-RaD System provides 75% faster performance than Paramiko and 92% than NAPALM.
