How to configure real Cisco switch with Ansible

Intro to using Ansible - a Network Automation framework written in Python.
We'll get more into it later with a view to customizing it using Python.

Steps:

1. Install Ansible on your Linux computer : sudo python -m pip install ansible
2. Write an 'ansible playbook' file on same computer
3. Add device details into /etc/ansible/hosts file
4. Run the playbook and it connects to device(s) and reads/edits their configuration

Here we look at "hosts", and a "playbook"
This video is not a complete course, it's a quick look at the bare minimum to get started, using real Cisco hardware - a pair of 3750 switches.
