Welcome to the Python on IOS-XE introductory lab. This lab is built to be used on a local laptop running a Vagrant install of IOS-XE. That version of IOS-XE should have Guest Shell up and running. It should also have python-ncclient libraries installed on its bash shell so that the Python container can utilize NETCONF commands.
The Python scripts that are in this Github repository should be transferred to the flash/bootflash on the IOS-XE.
Finally, the IOS-config-base.txt file contains the starting configuration that needs to be added to the running IOS-XE device on the local laptop.
Once these are setup, you can proceed to the Intro module.
