Create an Offline Network

You must have an offline view of your live network in JSON or .gz format. In an offline network, you can make changes and forecast the impact without impacting the live network.

Use the following procedure to create an offline network:

  1. Navigate to Planning > Networks > Offline Models.
    The Working Models page is displayed.
  2. Create the + icon to upload an offline version of your live network.
    The Create Network Page is displayed.
  3. Click the Browse button in the Upload JSON/GZ File field to upload the live network file from your local system in JSON and .gz format.
  4. Provide a name and appropriate description, if required.

    If the offline model is for a large network, wait couple of minutes before opening the model. If the number of nodes, links, tunnels do not match the expected number, go back to the Working Models page and wait few more minutes and then open the model. After verifying the contents of the model, save the model by navigating to Actions > Save Model.

  5. Click the Save button to save the offline version of your live network.
The offline version of your live network (also called as a network model) is listed on the Working Models page. You can use this network model to view the offline topology map and make necessary changes to the network model.
Alternatively, you can import your live network by clicking More > Import from Live Network on the Working Models page. For more information, see About the Working Models Page.
