Network automation has emerged as a critical requirement in modern enterprise infrastructures due to the increasing complexity, scale, and dynamism of network operations. Manual configuration methods are error-prone, time-consuming, and unsuitable for real-time adaptation. Python, with its extensive libraries and vendor-agnostic frameworks, has become the de facto programming language for automating routers, switches, and network monitoring tasks. This review analyses the evolution of network automation, Python-based tools such as Netmiko, Paramiko, NAPALM, and Ansible, and their role in improving configuration consistency, reducing human errors, and enhancing operational efficiency. The paper highlights existing challenges, emerging trends, and research opportunities in large- scale enterprise network automation.
