Topology
What it does
The Topology workspace is a visual canvas for designing network diagrams. You can place chassis, draw links between ports, attach metadata (hostnames, IPs, roles), snapshot versions automatically on save, and export per-device Arista EOS configs.
Required inputs
- Diagram name — a short label shown in your dashboard.
- Chassis selections — picked from the palette (e.g. 7280R3, 7050X3).
- Links — drawn by connecting port handles between two chassis.
- Per-node metadata (optional but recommended): hostname, mgmt IP, role, site.
- IPAM pools (optional) — referenced when you let the export auto-allocate addresses.
Example output
A saved diagram with ~6 nodes, plus an EOS export bundle:
`` leaf-01.cfg (245 lines) leaf-02.cfg (245 lines) spine-01.cfg (188 lines) spine-02.cfg (188 lines) preflight.txt (no warnings) ``
Each *.cfg is ready to paste into a real switch or feed into an automation pipeline.
