New Training: NetBox Fundamentals 201 Schedule Announced

Networks change constantly. Devices get added, configurations drift, and documentation ages. For teams using NetBox as a network source of truth, the challenge shifts from building an accurate model to keeping it accurate over time.

Our popular NetBox Fundamentals 101 covers the foundation: core data modeling from regions and sites to devices, IPAM, and config contexts. Our new Fundamentals 201 picks up where that leaves off.

What the New NetBox Training Fundamentals 201 Covers

Where Fundamentals 101 focuses on structuring data, Fundamentals 201 focuses on maintaining accuracy, enforcing governance, and automating the flow of information between NetBox and production infrastructure.

The hands-on class introduces NetBox Discovery and NetBox Assurance, which automatically detects when the actual network state diverges from what’s documented in NetBox. This includes drift detection workflows and resolution strategies for bringing documentation back in line with reality. The class also covers Diode collectors, which enable automated data import from network platforms rather than relying on manual synchronization.

The class also covers custom validators for enforcing organizational standards automatically, catching policy violations before changes reach production. Finally, participants work with branching and change management workflows, staging proposed changes in isolated branches, reviewing modifications before merging, and maintaining audit trails of what changed and why.

Who Should Take This Class

Fundamentals 201 is designed for those who have completed Fundamentals 101 or have equivalent experience working with NetBox. The prerequisite is comfort with core data modeling and an interest in maintaining accuracy at scale.

The format matches Fundamentals 101: half-day, virtual, hands-on instruction limited to 15 participants. The price is $400 per seat.

2026 Schedule

Six Fundamentals 201 sessions are scheduled for 2026: February 5, April 15, June 12, August 31, October 8, and December 4.
