About This Workbook

The Complete Lab
Workbook
for Your Success

Passing the Cisco CCNA Automation 200-901 CCNAAUTO exam takes real code, not flashcards or another video course. You need hands-on reps with Python, REST APIs, YANG data models, NETCONF, RESTCONF, and Ansible. This ccna automation book gives you 60+ labs covering every topic the blueprint tests. From parsing JSON and YAML to building NETCONF sessions and automating Cisco DNA Centre, Meraki, and IOS-XE devices, you’ll write real scripts the same way working network engineers do.

The 200-901 CCNAAUTO blueprint updated to v1.1, and that matters. YANG, NETCONF, and RESTCONF now appear across two separate exam domains and account for 35% of your score. Most study guides haven’t caught up. This ccna automation workbook is aligned to v1.1 and covers every model-driven programmability topic Cisco tests, including NETCONF filtering, RESTCONF GET/PATCH requests, and building YANG-based configuration templates for IOS-XE.

Each lab explains the why behind every line of code. You’ll see full API request and response cycles, YANG tree structures, NETCONF RPC examples, and the debugging patterns that candidates miss on exam day. The workbook ships with a ready-to-use lab environment so you can run your first Python script or NETCONF session against a live Cisco DevNet Sandbox device in under ten minutes. No virtual environment headaches. No broken Postman collections. No wondering which YANG model to use.

Built by SMEnode instructors with 15+ years of Cisco automation training, this ccna automation book is the missing piece between watching videos and walking into the testing centre. Every lab maps to the current v1.1 blueprint, so you’re not burning hours on deprecated APIs or outdated tools.

Whether you’re self-studying or moving into a network automation engineering role, this 200-901 CCNAAUTO workbook turns Python for network engineers from theory into reflex. That’s what Cisco actually tests.

Once you own it, you own it forever. Free lifetime updates when Cisco revises the 200-901 CCNAAUTO blueprint – and this workbook already covers every v1.1 change.

The Hard Truth

Why Most CCNA Automation Candidates Struggle

Understanding the real problems with traditional training – and how we’ve built something better.

Traditional Approach

Why most study methods fail you

Watching Videos Isn't Practice

You can't build muscle memory from YouTube. The lab requires speed and precision.

Scattered Resources Waste Time

Random blog posts and outdated guides create dangerous knowledge gaps.

Outdated & Isolated Content

Materials lag behind exam updates, topics taught in silos without integration.

No Structure or Troubleshooting

Without a clear path, you study the wrong things and miss critical skills.

Our Workbook Approach

Built for real exam success

Hands-On From Day One

Every concept includes immediate lab practice to build muscle memory and confidence.

Always Current & Structured

Free lifetime updates ensure your materials match the latest exam blueprint.

Real-World Scenarios

Multi-technology labs that mirror real enterprise networks and exam complexity.

Troubleshooting Focus

Dedicated break/fix labs to develop the diagnostic skills examiners test.
