Pybatfish<\/strong> is a Python client for Batfish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Batfish?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Batfish is a network validation tool that provides correctness guarantees for security, reliability, and compliance by analyzing the configuration of network devices. It builds complete models of network behavior from device configurations and finds violations of network policies (built-in, user-defined, and best-practices).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A primary use case for Batfish is to validate configuration changes before<\/em> deployment (though it can be used to validate deployed configurations as well). Pre-deployment validation is a critical gap in existing network automation workflows. By Batfish in automation workflows, network engineers can close this gap and ensure that only correct changes are deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batfish does NOT require direct access to network devices.<\/strong> The core analysis requires only the configuration of network devices. This analysis may be enhanced using additional information from the network such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
