1
00:00:02.150 --> 00:00:09.650
In My Labs, open Import to build a lab from a network diagram.

2
00:00:09.700 --> 00:00:16.200
Choose PlantUML Diagram and select your supported PlantUML file.

3
00:00:19.300 --> 00:00:25.300
Give this imported lab a name that you can recognize.

4
00:00:25.450 --> 00:00:32.450
Open the new lab and check both routers and their connecting cable.

5
00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:39.500
Review the chosen devices because diagram labels can map to different models.

6
00:00:41.800 --> 00:00:50.050
The imported diagram supplies a topology, so the router interfaces still need configuration.

7
00:00:54.400 --> 00:01:02.400
On the first router, set an address on the connected interface and enable it.

8
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:15.000
Configure the second router on the same network.

9
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:26.400
Check that the connected interface now has an address and is up.

10
00:01:26.450 --> 00:01:33.950
Ping the second router, repeating the test after initial address resolution if needed.

11
00:01:35.450 --> 00:01:41.450
Five successful replies confirm that the configured link is working.

12
00:01:53.350 --> 00:01:58.450
Save the device configurations before leaving this lab.

13
00:02:00.650 --> 00:02:07.650
In My Labs, export a Visio file from the lab row menu.

14
00:02:10.750 --> 00:02:17.750
Open Import again and choose Visio File to load the downloaded diagram.

15
00:02:20.950 --> 00:02:28.950
Give the Visio copy a different name to keep the original easy to find.

16
00:02:29.100 --> 00:02:35.600
Open the Visio copy and check the devices and cable again.

17
00:02:37.600 --> 00:02:45.600
Diagram import does not restore the router settings, so configure the new copy separately.

18
00:02:52.700 --> 00:02:59.200
Review any Visio import warnings before opening a more complex diagram.

19
00:02:59.250 --> 00:03:05.750
This warning identifies a connector whose endpoint could not be imported.

20
00:03:05.900 --> 00:03:13.400
Keep the original diagram and verify the imported topology before you start configuring.
