The Introduction to Network Simulations with Cisco Modeling Labs (CMLLAB) Learning Path is designed to introduce you to the Cisco network simulation tool, Cisco Modeling Labs (CML). Cisco Modeling Labs provides network engineers, students, and automation engineers with a powerful platform to design robust network simulations. Your simulations can range from basic topologies made up of a few network devices and hosts, to complex network topologies that mimic real-world environments and bridge the virtual and physical networks together. In completing this introductory Learning Path, you will learn the foundational skills needed to build and interact with network simulations by learning to add nodes to a topology and link their interfaces together. You will learn how to start, stop, and manage the lifecycle of the simulations while you configure routers, switches, and hosts using the many options Cisco Modeling Labs includes. You will also learn how to share your simulations with others and leverage community resources in your own simulations.
