Create External System (Freeform)
Systems represent switches, routers, Linux hosts and so on. Unmanaged devices that you add to a blueprint are called external systems. They link to managed (internal) systems. You can create systems from scratch, or you can clone systems and customize them to create new ones. You can create (and clone) from the Topology view or from the Systems view. (Cloning from the Systems view is new in Apstra version 4.1.2).
