Methods of Procedure (MOPs)
Plan network changes as MOPs in the NetStacks Terminal: pre-checks, change steps, post-checks and rollback, expected-output checks, variables, target devices and AI drafting help.
Running a MOP
Execute a NetStacks MOP from the Terminal: Manual, Auto-Run and AI Pilot control modes, sequential or parallel strategy, step controls, rollback, and reviewing the results.
MOP Review & Approval
Submit a MOP for review from the NetStacks Terminal, approve or reject it in the Controller admin console, and track revisions and execution history.
Scheduled Tasks
Create Controller tasks for stack deployments, device health checks, CLI command runs, config backups and AI agent prompts, with a cron schedule and timezone, and run them on demand.
Scripts
Write and run Python automation scripts in the NetStacks Terminal's Python Engine, pass parameters and device context, and manage the shared script library on the Controller.
Run History & Monitoring
Where to find the results of NetStacks automation: MOP executions in the Terminal and admin console, scheduled task runs, and the Controller's Activity Monitor.
