Network Visualization for Kathara labs

This script parses (and generates) the lab.conf file and all the .startup files to visualize the network.
It is useful to check if those files are properly configured, but also to make them from scratch.

Binaries are already built for linux and windows machines
You can find them in the out directory

How to build the executables (in linux machine):

• install nodejs 18
• use npm to install globally pkg
  • sudo npm install -g pkg
• console -> navigate to net-vis-localhost folder
  • pkg .
• binary will be in out directory

How to use:

• place net-vis-localhost file in lab folder
• open terminal
• linux
  • ./net-vis-localhost-linux
• windows
  • ./net-vis-localhost-win.exe
• open browser
• navigate to http://localhost:8000/

After navigating to the link, it will display the network if there is one.
If the network is not displayed as expected, most likely there are errors somewhere in the lab.conf or in some .startup file

How to add a node (machine or collision domain):

• configure the node stuff in the add node menu
• click to the green top left + button (Add Node)
• click where to add the machine/collision domain

How to add a link:

• configure the link ip (example: 12.12.12.12 or even just the sub-ip like .12)
• click to the blue top left arrow button (Add Edge)
• click on a machine and drag the curson to a collision domain
  (it will check if the link is compatible with collision domain ip/netmask)
• machine devices for the new link will be assigned incrementally
  (first link: eth0, second link: eth1, etc.)

How to save changes made:

• click on Update Lab button
• new lab.conf and .startup files will be in newNetwork folder
