0:02 In My Labs, open Import to build a lab from a network diagram.

0:09 Choose PlantUML Diagram and select your supported PlantUML file.

0:19 Give this imported lab a name that you can recognize.

0:25 Open the new lab and check both routers and their connecting cable.

0:32 Review the chosen devices because diagram labels can map to different models.

0:41 The imported diagram supplies a topology, so the router interfaces still need configuration.

0:54 On the first router, set an address on the connected interface and enable it.

1:10 Configure the second router on the same network.

1:19 Check that the connected interface now has an address and is up.

1:26 Ping the second router, repeating the test after initial address resolution if needed.

1:35 Five successful replies confirm that the configured link is working.

1:53 Save the device configurations before leaving this lab.

2:00 In My Labs, export a Visio file from the lab row menu.

2:10 Open Import again and choose Visio File to load the downloaded diagram.

2:20 Give the Visio copy a different name to keep the original easy to find.

2:29 Open the Visio copy and check the devices and cable again.

2:37 Diagram import does not restore the router settings, so configure the new copy separately.

2:52 Review any Visio import warnings before opening a more complex diagram.

2:59 This warning identifies a connector whose endpoint could not be imported.

3:05 Keep the original diagram and verify the imported topology before you start configuring.
