Gestión Automatizada de la Configuración de Red para Empresas Medianas

Abstract

Abstract: The objective of this degree work was to implement automated network configuration management for medium-sized enterprises. GNS3 was used as an emulation tool to perform the implementation of several configurations, backups, queries and reset of the proposed topology. The platform implemented was CISCO. When performing the simulation, different playbooks such as port configurations, etherchannel, OSPF, VLANs, HSRPand Git-Lab are used on the network devices such as routers, layer 3 and layer 2 switches. Ansible is responsible for applying all the configurations to the network devices through the various directories, files, playbooks and templates. It is concluded that Ansible is an open source orchestration and configuration management utility that can automate and standardize the configuration of network devices. Being Push Model allows flexible use of APIs and most importantly improves the current processes of manual configurations by eliminating error and provides a single language across the network topology, allowing to optimize network management, availability and costs.
