Would be useful to have a \"start devices in Group x\" button - I know I can outline the devices and right-click on one of them and do a Start which is fine if your layouts are neat enough and devices don't cross each other.  Start \"Icon\" could then have \"All\" at the top and groups listed below with a status (Red/Green) to show if running.

The devices are still running, this is simply for view only. \r\n\r\nBe able to tag network elements (IOU, Appliances, associated network links) and group them together. For instance if I have several overlay or underlay designs that are not interacting with each other and out of 15 devices each touches 7 of them with some overlap. It be great to tag those 7 devices for say DMVPN, VLAN, routing domain, security zone, etc. and in a tabbed/new view only shows the devices I care about at the moment.\r\n\r\nKeep the ability to show all but if I am only working on an MPLS lab then only show the MPLS cloud with the PE/CEs.\r\n\r\nThis would be a manual process for the designer of the lab, however it helps with creating a scope of devices you care about depending on the work you are doing at that moment.\r\n\r\nAND/OR\r\n\r\nExtract the Configuration from Cisco/Juniper devices and create an underlay/overlay view. I only want to see where VLAN 10 is trunked and access. This may need to be a mnaual process but that would be helpful also. "}}
