Apply Selected Topology
This option will apply the topology that has been selected on the NetMap tab to the devices and
enable you to congure the devices in the simulator on the Consoles panel. The topology can be
one that you created yourself or one from a previously opened lab. To learn more about conguring
devices, see the Congure in Simulator section of this menu.
Note: Loading a new topology will close your current console session. This will load the
topology with default device congurations only; it will not load any custom or saved
device conguration les, nor will it load a specic lab’s instructions.

This option opens an additional New Topology tab in the NetMap panel. You can then design your
own topology. See the Create a New Topology section of this manual for more information.
Save Topology
This option enables you to save the current topology in the NetMap. The le will be saved as a *.top

Open and Apply Topology
