Community material for building and running Extreme Networks labs on GNS3, driven by Claude Code. It is not an official Extreme Networks project.
| Path | What it is |
|---|---|
extreme-gns3-skills/ |
A pack of 8 Claude Code skills for Switch Engine (EXOS VM), Fabric Engine (VOSS VM) and ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine (XIQ-SE) on a GNS3 server. Start with its README. |
extreme-gns3-skills/skills/ |
The skills themselves, one folder each (SKILL.md + helper scripts). |
extreme-gns3-skills/dist/ |
Ready to use: the skills as a .zip, and a guide as PDF and HTML. |
extreme-gns3-skills/VALIDATION.md |
What was tested, on which versions, and the results. |
extreme-gns3-skills/src/ |
Script and intro text used to build the guide in dist/. |
UPM/ |
EXOS Universal Port Manager scripts that auto-configure access ports for IP phones (ToIP) and WiFi APs detected by LLDP, discovering VLANs by name. Python and CLI (.xsf) versions. |
edge-guard-exos/ |
EXOS «edge guard» without STP: an ACL policy (LLC SAP / SNAP / ethertype, no MAC) logs switch-only protocols (STP/RSTP/MSTP, EDP/ELRP, Cisco SNAP protocols, SLPP) and a UPM profile + Python script disables the access port. Verification status and test results included. |
| Skill | What it covers |
|---|---|
gns3-server-api |
Driving a remote GNS3 server by its REST API: projects, templates, nodes, links, consoles, NAT, known pitfalls. |
extreme-switch-templates |
Adding Switch Engine and Fabric Engine models/versions from github.com/extremenetworks and tuning templates. |
switch-engine-in-gns3 |
Running EXOS VM nodes: first boot, wizard, save/backup, management, SNMP, .xos installs, Python/UPM. |
fabric-engine-in-gns3 |
Running VOSS VM nodes: first login, Auto-Sense fabric, port/adapter mapping, saving. |
simulated-devices-in-gns3 |
Alpine containers as LLDP endpoints, 802.1X supplicant + FreeRADIUS, FRR routers, VLAN hosts. |
site-engine-in-gns3 |
Site Engine as a VM in the lab: sizing, network, discovery, firmware repository, ZTP+, MIB Tools. |
site-engine-flexview-builder |
Writing Site Engine FlexViews (.tpl) from a MIB and a plain-language description. |
extreme-product-docs |
Giving Claude the official User Guides / Command References as searchable text. |
The only prerequisite is a GNS3 server whose API and console ports you can reach.
Download extreme-gns3-skills.zip (or
clone this repo) and copy the folders under extreme-gns3-skills/skills/ to
~/.claude/skills/ (all projects) or .claude/skills/ inside a project, keeping them side by
side. Details in the pack README.
