 The two Netmiko methods used to configure a device are send_config_set() and send_config_from_file(). The method send_config_set() is used to send configuration commands to a network device in an interactive session. This can be done as part of an automated script or manually entered commands. On the other hand, send_config_from_file() allows for sending configurations from a file which can be useful for larger configurations or standard config deployments across multiple devices. References: Automating Cisco Enterprise Solutions Official Cert Guide

Software-defined networks (SDNs) are designed to be more flexible and easier to manage compared to traditional infrastructure. They utilize overlay networks to decouple network services from the hardware, allowing for efficient resource utilization and simplified virtual network services provisioning. SDNs are also designed to adapt quickly to changing business needs or traffic patterns, without the need for manual reconfiguration or significant downtime.

Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) is a method used to automate the process of configuring network devices without manual intervention. When a device is first powered on, it uses DHCP to obtain an IP address and other network settings, including the location of a TFTP server from which it can download its initial configuration. This allows devices to be deployed at scale with minimal effort, as they can automatically configure themselves as soon as they are connected to the network. References := (Automating Cisco Enterprise Solutions Official Cert Guide)
