Quick Facts

Features

Automatic IP Addressing

Intelligent address allocation:

Algorithms:

• Loopback addresses per router
• Point-to-point link addressing
• Subnet allocation by AS or area
• IPv4 and IPv6 support

Collision Detection:

• Validates no overlapping subnets
• Checks for duplicate addresses
• Enforces addressing policies

Protocol Configuration

Automated routing protocol setup:

OSPF:

• Area assignment
• Interface cost calculation
• Network type configuration
• Authentication setup

BGP:

• iBGP full mesh or route reflectors
• eBGP peer configuration
• AS-path prepending
• Community tagging

ISIS:

• Level assignment (L1, L2, L1/L2)
• Metric calculation
• Area configuration

Multi-Vendor Output

Single topology generates configs for all vendors:

Cisco IOS Example:

interface GigabitEthernet0/0
 ip address 10.0.1.1 255.255.255.252
 ip ospf cost 10
 ip ospf network point-to-point

Juniper JunOS Example:

interfaces {
    ge-0/0/0 {
        unit 0 {
            family inet {
                address 10.0.1.1/30;
            }
        }
    }
}
protocols {
    ospf {
        area 0.0.0.0 {
            interface ge-0/0/0.0 {
                metric 10;
                interface-type p2p;
            }
        }
    }
}

Visualization

Network diagram generation:

Output Formats:

• GraphML (visual editors)
• PDF diagrams
• PNG/SVG images
• JSON for web visualization

Layouts:

• Physical topology view
• Logical routing domain view
• BGP AS topology
• Per-protocol views
