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.
