CML/VIRL version 2 web interface looks as shown in
Figure 15-8.

Cisco CML/VIRL provides several interfaces: a CLI
interface, a powerful web user interface (refer to Figure
15-8), and a REST API for automation and integration.
Multiple virtual instances of operating systems and
solutions—including Cisco SD-WAN (Cisco vManage,
Cisco vSmart, Cisco vBond, Cisco vEdge), Cisco
CSR1000v, Cisco NX-OS, Cisco IOS XRv, Ubuntu,
CoreOS, and TRex—are included with CML/VIRL by
default, and it is possible to add other third-party virtual
instances as well. While the software features in the
virtual instances of the Cisco network operating systems
are in most cases on parity with the binary files installed
on Cisco routers and switches, there are limitations in
regard to the data plane implementation. There are no
switching backplanes and no ASIC modules with the
virtual nodes in CML/VIRL, so throughput performance
cannot be tested accurately in most cases.
Using an external connector, a simulation running in
Cisco CML/VIRL can be connected to the external world
and the Internet. This is done through the network
