Abstract Network programmability is a trend, enhanced and inspired by Software Defined Networks, that are based on scripting methods and standard programming languages used for controlling and monitoring of network elements. This paper is illustrating some new methods in configuring network devices by using automation, reducing time for equipment configuration and easier maintenance. It also improves network security by recognizing and fixing security vulnerabilities and it increases the network stability. These methods represent the future of networks, allowing the management of an increased number of devices in a unitary way.
