Summary

We have covered a lot of Nautobot’s core functionalities in this chapter and described its commitment to efficient network inventory management. We’ve explored its capacity for IP addresses and prefix tracking, seen the flexibility of redundancy constructs and data models, and navigated its rich feature set that supports robust data handling. Yet, one of Nautobot’s defining strengths remains its extensibility.

The next chapter will focus on this extensibility, detailing how Nautobot can be tailored to fit unique operational requirements and adapt to changing network environments. Whether it’s through plugins, custom data models, or other features, Nautobot offers avenues for users to expand and customize its capabilities, ensuring it aligns closely with specific needs.
