Automate Network Operations with VyOS Command Scripting
VyOS Command Scripting
Modern networks demand speed, consistency, and scalability. VyOS enables IT teams to achieve these goals with built-in command scripting capabilities that streamline configuration management, simplify operational tasks, and ensure reliable automation across any environment.
With built-in support for sourcing VyOS functions and aliases, engineers can streamline repetitive tasks, deploy changes consistently, and integrate automation into any workflow.
Whether executing commands locally, running op-mode tasks remotely over SSH, or generating configuration scripts from other languages, VyOS scripting provides unmatched flexibility. Pre- and post-boot scripting options ensure full lifecycle automation, from applying initial preconfigurations at startup to running advanced logic once the system is fully online. This scripting capability empowers enterprises to reduce manual effort, minimize errors, and accelerate deployment of secure, scalable networks.

Key Capabilities
Non-interactive Execution
Run configuration and operational commands directly from shell scripts, eliminating manual intervention and reducing the risk of errors.
Native VyOS Functions & Aliases
Source /opt/vyatta/etc/functions/script-template at the top of your script to leverage VyOS-specific functions for a smooth, consistent experience.
Remote Command Execution
Automate operations across distributed environments by executing op-mode or configuration commands over SSH on remote VyOS systems.
Multi-Language Scripting Support
Generate configuration commands in any programming language and feed them into bash scripts for execution, ensuring flexibility in your automation toolkit.
Lifecycle Automation at Boot
* Pre-config scripts: Runs before the VyOS configuration is applied, perfect for initializing dependencies or preparing the system. * Post-config scripts: Runs after the full configuration is applied, ideal for launching services or finalizing advanced logic.
