Build or rewire virtual network topologies in EVE-NG labs

  • Solve tasks like creating networks, connecting interfaces, or listing node templates
  • Uses EVE-NG APIs and Python3 for topology inspection and modification
  • Follows wiring rules from reference documents to ensure valid configurations
  • Returns updated topology data or confirmation of interface/network changes

# EVE Lab Topology Build

Use this skill for **network objects and interface wiring** inside an existing EVE-NG lab.

## Workflow

1. Read the current topology first with `eve_get_topology` or `eve_list_node_interfaces`.
2. Before rewiring, follow `{baseDir}/references/wiring-guardrails.md`.
3. Create or reuse the required network object.
4. Connect interfaces only after confirming IDs from `{baseDir}/references/network-and-interface-reference.md`.
5. Re-read topology after the change; do not trust the write response alone.

## Available tools

- `eve_get_topology`
- `eve_list_networks`
- `eve_create_network`
- `eve_delete_network`
- `eve_list_node_interfaces`
- `eve_connect_interface`
- `eve_list_node_types`

## When to read references

- Read `{baseDir}/references/wiring-guardrails.md` for stop/start, direct-segment, node-ID, and image-verification rules.
- Read `{baseDir}/references/network-and-interface-reference.md` for network types and interface-index guidance.
