Ask Assistant about the current network Use Assistant to understand the network currently open in your lab. Open Assistant and select the device you want to investigate. Ask a focused question and describe the symptom you can see. In this lab, R1 is connected to R2, but its interface is administratively shut down. Review the answer and expand the tool activity to see what was checked. Copy the suggested show command and run it in the device terminal. Compare the actual interface state with the explanation before making changes. Ask about an interface that does not exist to check that the answer stays grounded. Review the daily usage display and any account limits before continuing. Assistant explanations help you investigate, while the device output remains your verification.
