Managing a Network Switch with
summary
Concrete workflow and result: Nexus switches expose a NX API sandbox (RESTlike JSON RPC) so automation uses HTTP/HTTPS instead of installing Python on devices. Ansible runs in agentless local mode calling the API with Ansible NXOS modules from GitHub to provision VLANs, run parallel playbooks against three switches, and report three actual changes; the demo completes with no failures. Tools, module names, API details and the success count dictate usefulness.
