arrow_backward

arrow_forward

Create a Freeform blueprint to build and manage any topology with Apstra.

From the left navigation menu of the Apstra GUI, click Blueprints, then click Create Blueprint.
Enter a blueprint name and select Freeform reference design.
If you've previously exported a Freeform blueprint, you can use it as a template for a new one (new in Apstra version 4.2.0). Click Import existing blueprint from JSON. Then either click Choose File and navigate to the downloaded file, or drag and drop the file into the dialog window. Otherwise, continue to the next step.
Click Create to create the blueprint and return to the blueprint summary view. The newly created blueprint appears in the summary.

Next Steps:

Import device profiles into the blueprint catalog.
You can bring your devices under Apstra management anytime before deploying your network.
