Network Automation vs Traditional Networking: Explained
Traditional networking is based on hands-on configuration of each device, where engineers log in to switches, firewalls, and routers and process commands through the command line. This process works, but it becomes slow and also not consistent as the network grows. Whereas, the network automation uses scripts, software and a controlled centralized environment to configure and manage. It reduces the manual mistakes; helps lower the operational effort and speeds up delivery.
