NetPilot

Description

From the marketplace listing

NetPilot is an AI agent for networks. From a plain-English prompt it designs, builds and validates real multi-vendor networks in your private network lab, a cloud VM with 15+ real network operating systems with containerlab, and it builds Cisco Packet Tracer files with no VM at all. Use it for any network engineering job that needs a lab to learn or to validate. What an engineer does with it: - Certification lab: practice for CCNA, CCNP or CCIE topics on real Cisco IOS, IOS XR and NX-OS CLIs, and download a Packet Tracer .pkt file for CCNA-level topologies. - Vendor CLI lab: learn Junos, Arista EOS, Nokia SR Linux, SONiC, MikroTik RouterOS, Palo Alto or FortiGate on the real CLI. - Technology lab: build VXLAN EVPN, BGP policy, OSPF, MPLS, segment routing, IPv6 or VLAN and STP topologies and watch what each command does. - Network design lab: turn a design into a running multi-vendor topology, proof of concept or digital twin. - Network testing lab: reproduce a fault in BGP, OSPF or EVPN, run a failure scenario, or build a reproduction for a vendor case. - Pre-change validation lab: test a change before the maintenance window. Deploy the current configs of the devices involved, apply the route-map, ACL, prefix-list, OSPF cost or BGP policy change, and keep the before and after output for your change record. - Migration lab: rehearse a Cisco to Arista, Juniper or Aruba cutover on the real CLIs. ChatGPT builds the lab from your description, starts the lab VM, deploys the devices, applies the configs and reads the device CLI output, which you keep as evidence. A deployed lab opens in the lab viewer with a console per device. Supported device types: Cisco IOL, XRd and NX-OS, Arista cEOS, Juniper cRPD, Nokia SR Linux, SONiC, FRR, Palo Alto, FortiGate, Aruba, Dell and MikroTik RouterOS (CHR). Nokia SR Linux, FRR and Linux are preinstalled, and MikroTik RouterOS (CHR) and SONiC (community VS) are preloaded on every new lab VM, replaceable with your own versions. Other vendor images are installed on the user's own VM from the NetPilot app. How it works: every tool call runs on NetPilot's own infrastructure. Lab tools run on the user's private VM, which the assistant starts with start_vm and stops with stop_vm, and which stops itself after an idle timeout. Saved designs live in the user's NetPilot workspace and appear in the NetPilot web app. NetPilot stores no chat content from ChatGPT. Limitations: one lab VM per account, shared with the NetPilot web app. Deploying a lab takes a few minutes. Device output comes back as text, management addresses stay inside the VM, and the tools reach only the user's own lab VM, never production devices.
