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.
