Cisco Modeling Labs Education provides a comprehensive simulation platform that includes a central repository of defined and licensed Cisco IOS images, accessible to all engineers. The user-friendly interface is modeled after the Cisco DNA Center Canvas, allowing for efficient build-up and tear-down of network configurations. Additionally, it features a robust API that facilitates automation, enabling users to test new configurations in a simulated environment before deploying them in production. This ensures that network changes are thoroughly vetted, minimizing the risk of disruptions.
