Self-Configuring, Self-Troubleshooting, Self-Healing Networks with AI Agents

🚀 AI-Powered Network Automation: Integrating Ping as a Tool for Intelligent Agents! 🔥
In this video, we take network automation to the next level by integrating ping as a tool for AI-driven router and switch agents. Using pyATS, our AI agents can execute ping commands from network devices and return structured JSON data, allowing for deep analysis and intelligent troubleshooting.
💡 What You'll Learn:
✅ How to perform ping tests directly from routers and switches via AI agents
✅ How AI can interpret JSON ping results for deeper network insights
✅ The most exciting part-AI Agents can follow up their own commands!
Configure something? Follow up with a ping test to confirm connectivity!
Need validation? Ask the network to troubleshoot itself with automated reachability checks!
✅ Self-Troubleshooting Networks - AI Agents can dynamically diagnose issues, confirm functionality, and validate network changes without manual intervention.
🛠️ How It Works:
1️⃣ Issue a natural language request (e.g., "Can you ping 20.20.20.100 from R1?")
2️⃣ The AI agent translates it into a structured ping command
3️⃣ The command runs on the router/switch via pyATS, returning JSON results
4️⃣ AI analyzes the results and provides insights (e.g., success rate, round-trip times, failures)
5️⃣ AI can now follow up! (e.g., "After configuring VLANs, can you verify connectivity?")
📡 Real-World Benefits:
💡 Automated network validation - AI can confirm if a change is successful
🔍 Self-diagnosing networks - Agents with ping access can detect reachability issues
⚡ Faster troubleshooting - AI reduces manual effort in checking connectivity
🔥 This is a game-changer for AI-powered network automation! Imagine a network that configures itself AND verifies its own functionality! 🚀

John's pooches are called AI and ML 🤣
