* Creates a new model/table for storing the DNS names of your GNS3 servers. [("Boring, Sidney; borrring, borrrrrrring"](https://youtu.be/ieqxmg4pmZo?si=rXJtimC0e0_QpEp7&t=147), I know.)
* Provides a screen/page that prompts you to:
* Select a GNS3 server and as few or as many Arista switches as you want from your devices table.
* Enter a set of Arista EOS credentials
* Enter a project-name to use for a new project on the GNS3 server

* Creates a GNS3 virtual-lab, populated with Arista cEOS container/nodes, each of which is:
* MLAG friendly (each container is configured to use the system-mac address of the "real" switch it is emulating)
* Running a (cEOS/lab conformed) copy of the startup-config of the switch it is emulating
* **Programmatically instantiates a GNS3 virtual-lab**, populated with Arista **cEOS container/nodes**, each of which is:
* **MLAG friendly** (each container is configured to use the system-mac address of the "real" switch it is emulating)
* Running a (cEOS/lab conformed) copy of the **startup-config of the switch it is emulating**
* Running the same cEOS version as the switch that it is emulating (if you have a matching Docker template installed on your GNS3 server)
* Happy to run as an EVPN/VXLAN fabric, if that's your bag. (There's some per-VRF/network-namespace ipfilters tweaking that may still need to be cleared up.)
* Has "links" provisioned in the vlab, **mirroring the inter-switch links of the "live" switches you're modeling** (detected when inspecting th LLDP tables of the switches)

* Returns a URL
