cml-node-operations

You can automate Cisco CML node operations by programmatically starting, stopping, and checking the status of individual nodes within your lab environment. This streamlines repetitive lab setup and teardown tasks.

Yes, you can execute CLI commands on CML routers automatically using pyATS integration. This allows you to push configurations and run verification commands like show ip route across multiple nodes.

To retrieve console logs for troubleshooting a CML node, you can obtain console connection details and fetch console logs directly. This provides visibility into boot sequences and runtime errors.

Yes, the cml-mcp dependency is required to manage CML lab nodes. It provides the underlying connection framework needed to interact with the Cisco Modeling Labs API for node operations.

The best way to apply startup configurations to network simulation nodes is by setting startup configs and retrieving current configurations programmatically. You can also download all lab configurations for backup.

If node configuration changes do not persist after a stop, you may need to set the startup configuration explicitly rather than only applying running configurations. Retrieving current configurations helps verify what is saved.
