cml-topology-builder

You can automate CML topology creation by providing a textual description like two spine switches and four leaves to a builder tool, which creates nodes, wires interfaces, and configures WAN conditions automatically.

The best way to add nodes and wire links in a CML network lab is using an automation builder to parse textual descriptions and map them to specific node definitions, interfaces, and link configurations.

Yes, you need a running MCP server to create CML lab simulations because the topology builder relies on it to enforce the STOPPED lab state required during node and link modifications.

Yes, you can apply link conditioning for WAN simulations during CML topology creation by defining the desired network conditions in your textual description before the builder wires the interfaces.

A CML lab must be in a STOPPED state when adding nodes and interfaces because the topology builder enforces this audit-ready state to ensure configuration changes are applied safely and reliably.
