8000 Emulator Notebooks: Documentation at Runtime

Are you looking for a programmatically accurate document to guide you through your specific configuration needs?

Also, simulate a use case to test-drive, even before actual deployments?

That enables you to perform your task effortlessly and provides a seamless experience between the written word and the actual deployment?

You’ve come to the right place!

Cisco 8000 Emulator Notebooks provide a real-time configuration experience— where you can simulate and configure the device as you read through the text and view the output instantly.

Read on to know more!

What are Cisco 8000 Emulator Notebooks?

The Cisco 8000 Emulator Notebooks are live documents that combine narrative text, images, videos, runnable code, and real-time outputs.

These notebooks are created using Jupyter, an open source software.

How do these Notebooks work?

The Notebook communicates with the Cisco 8000 emulator running in the background and brings up multi-router topologies within minutes at the click of the play button. You can then execute commands and configurations on the emulated routers directly from the Notebook.

Why Notebooks?

The PyVxr API, when invoked from within Notebooks, allows you to build and manage virtual multi-router topologies within minutes.

The PyVxr API sends your configurations to the virtual routers and retrieves real-time status in the same document. You can read the content, run, customize, and experiment with configurations based on your business needs.

What are the Benefits?

• Automates the creation and bringing-up of the topology on the Cisco 8000 Emulator, and saves time.
• Provides flexibility to customize topology by adding and modifying CLIs.
• Enables test proof-of-concept, use cases, or features to existing problems.
• Doubles up as a tutorial to educate customers or partners.
• Allows use case simulation and testing before actual deployments
