In this video, Kareem from Cisco returns to show exactly how to use Claude AI (Sonnet 4.5) and the new MCP server for CML to completely automate your CCNA studies. We walk through a 100% free hands-on demo where AI not only builds a custom network topology based on the official CCNA blueprint, but also configures the nodes, creates the lab tasks, and uses PyATS to verify and grade your work. Whether you are using CML-free or a paid version for CCNP and CCIE, this AI integration eliminates the hardest part of practicing for your certification exam—setting up the labs. Discover how
to connect your Claude Desktop to Cisco Modeling Labs and let AI generate, update, and assess your hands-on practice labs so you can focus on mastering networking and passing your exam.
Big thanks to Cisco for sponsoring this video and sponsoring my trip to Cisco Live Amsterdam 2026.
