Python is a popular high-level programming language with a vast standard library and supports multiple programming styles. Interpreters are available for many operating systems, allowing code execution on a wide range of systems. Dell Networking N-Series switches with firmware 6.3.x.x and later support installation and execution of Python applications to assist in the automation of configuring these switches. This provides a better alternative to the existing script feature in that it allows more control and therefore more robust scripts. This paper provides instructions and examples on how to deploy Python scripts on Dell Networking N-Series switches.
