1
00:00:03.750 --> 00:00:12.750
In My Labs, open Import and choose Device Configs to build a lab from saved configurations.

2
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:20.250
Use clean configuration files with passwords, keys and other sensitive values removed.

3
00:00:20.350 --> 00:00:26.350
Select the configuration files for both routers, then choose Analyze.

4
00:00:26.500 --> 00:00:34.000
Review the detected hostnames, vendors, operating systems and models before continuing.

5
00:00:35.400 --> 00:00:41.900
The preview suggests a cable between interfaces on the same network.

6
00:00:41.950 --> 00:00:49.950
Check both interface names and addresses, and remove any suggested cable that is incorrect.

7
00:00:51.150 --> 00:00:58.150
Expand Unmatched Interfaces to see addressed ports that have no suggested connection.

8
00:00:59.800 --> 00:01:05.800
Give the lab a clear name, then choose Create Lab.

9
00:01:05.950 --> 00:01:13.950
Open the new lab and check that both routers and their cable are present.

10
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:24.400
In Configs, select Startup and inspect the configuration imported for each router.

11
00:01:28.850 --> 00:01:35.850
Open the first router console and check its interface address and status.

12
00:01:35.900 --> 00:01:43.400
Ping the second router, repeating the test after initial address resolution if needed.

13
00:01:44.850 --> 00:01:50.850
Five successful replies confirm that this imported link is working.

14
00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:02.500
Check the second router too, so you verify both ends of the link.

15
00:02:10.100 --> 00:02:15.100
Save the device configurations before leaving the lab.

16
00:02:15.250 --> 00:02:23.250
Reopen the lab from My Labs and check that its configuration is still available.

17
00:02:26.500 --> 00:02:34.500
Keep the original files and verify the imported settings before using a larger network.
