How to automate network configuration with Ansible and NetBox step by step

If you’re still logging into switches one-by-one, this video will change your workflow. I walk through a complete network automation pipeline using NetBox as the source of truth and Ansible to push configs across your entire network with one command. You’ll see how NetBox stores inventory, IPAM, VLANs, and interfaces, how Ansible pulls dynamic inventory via the official NetBox plugin, and how Jinja2 templates render device-specific configs pushed over SSH or NETCONF. I cover the full file structure, NetBox API token setup, inventory plugin configuration, building a VLAN deployment playbook from scratch, and a live run against a lab. All code is available in the linked GitHub repo. Follow along to automate VLAN deployments and adopt a reproducible, source-of-truth driven workflow that scales. https://Centrainet.com #networkautomation #ansible #netbox
