SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires drawio-network-plot, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Manually creating network diagrams from complex Cisco configurations is time-consuming, error-prone, and requires specialized tools and knowledge. This Skill automates that process, transforming raw configuration data into professional, editable Draw.io diagrams.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Diagram Generation: Parses Cisco router and switch configurations (including CDP/LLDP, routing protocols, interfaces) to automatically build network topology diagrams.
  • Draw.io Output: Generates diagrams in Draw.io XML format, allowing for easy editing, customization, and integration with existing documentation workflows.
  • Multi-Layer Visualization: Supports creating diagrams for physical, Layer 2 (VLANs), and Layer 3 (routing) topologies, with customizable layouts, icons, and styling.
  • Use Case: A network engineer needs to quickly document the current state of a complex Cisco network for an audit or a new project. Instead of manually drawing, they feed the device configurations, and the skill generates an accurate, editable Draw.io diagram, saving hours of effort.

Quick Start

Generate a Draw.io network diagram from the Cisco configuration files located in '/mnt/user-data/uploads/my_configs' and save it as 'my_network.drawio'.

Frequently Asked Questions about cisco-network-diagram

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate network diagrams automatically from Cisco configurations?▼

This Skill automatically generates Draw.io network diagrams by parsing Cisco router and switch configurations, extracting device hostnames, interfaces, IP addresses, VLANs, and neighbor relationships to produce editable topology visualizations without manual drawing.

Can I create multi-layer network topology diagrams from Cisco IOS configurations?▼

Yes. The Skill supports multi-layer visualization including physical, Layer 2 (VLAN), and Layer 3 (routing) topologies from Cisco IOS, IOS-XE, and NX-OS configurations, with customizable layouts and icons for each layer.

What Cisco configuration data does the diagram parser extract?▼

The Skill extracts device hostname and type, interface data, IP addresses, VLANs, CDP/LLDP neighbor relationships, port-channels, static routes, and dynamic routing protocol details to populate the diagram with accurate topology information.

Does this tool work with show command outputs and configuration files?▼

Yes. The Skill parses both raw Cisco configuration files and show command outputs, including CDP/LLDP neighbor data and routing protocol information, to build comprehensive network diagrams.

What file format does the diagram generator produce?▼

The Skill outputs Draw.io XML format, enabling direct editing, customization within Draw.io, and integration into existing documentation workflows without format conversion.

Is this suitable for documenting single-site, data center, and multi-site networks?▼

Yes. The Skill generates diagrams for single-site, data center, and multi-site Cisco network topologies, making it applicable across different network scales and deployment scenarios.
