The article discusses the use of AI agents for automating and optimizing tasks in the networking industry, including network deployment, configuration, and monitoring. It outlines a workflow with four agents that collectively achieve the setup and verification of network connectivity within a Linux and SR Linux container environment.
The author demonstrates a workflow involving four AI agents designed to deploy, configure, and monitor a network:
Document Specialist Agent: This agent extracts installation, topology deployment, and node connection instructions from a specified website.
- Linux Configuration Agent: Executes the installation and configuration commands on a Debian 12 UTM VM, checks the health of the VM, and verifies the successful deployment of network containers.
- Network Configuration Specialist Agent: Configures network IP allocation, interfaces, and routing based on the network topology, including detailed BGP configurations for different network nodes.
- Senior Network Administrator Agent: Applies the generated configurations to the network nodes, checks BGP peering, and verifies end-to-end connectivity through ping tests.

WilmerAI is a sophisticated middleware system designed to handle incoming prompts and route them to appropriate categories and workflows. It supports multiple Large Language Models (LLMs) and can handle a single incoming connection to many backend LLMs.
This article provides a guide on how to build routes in Flask, a Python web framework. It covers topics such as URL routing, the features of Flask, and its suitability for production-level web applications.
would recommend adding a bridging router that would be connected to both networks. You can use pretty much any router with at least two Ethernet ports and that can run aftermarket firmware (like Tomato, OpenWRT, DD-WRT, and so on).
All you have to do in the router that connects the two networks it this:
Configure each of two Ethernet ports into different VLANs.
Assign each VLAN an IP address in one of your two networks.
Connect each port to the network that port's VLAN has an IP address in.
Make sure the router is configured to do routing. (This is the default in most distributions.)
Then, to make it work, you'll have to log into each of your two existing routers and add a route. For example, if the bridging router is 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.2.2, you'll need to add these two routes:
In the 192.168.1.x network, a route to 192.168.2.0/24 with a gateway of 192.168.1.2
In the 192.168.2.x network, a route to 192.168.1.0/24 with a gateway of 192.168.2.2
Note that computers in the two networks will be in different broadcast domains, so they won't easily discover each other. Depending on what tools you plan to use, there are various ways around this. For example, if you use Windows networking a lot, you can use a program (like nmbd) that synchronizes browse lists across the two networks.
