Attempting to see what to expect from a CML subscription with a 4-hour free trial; 2 hours in, I'm not sure if the problems with the labs, the blueprints, procedures...(frustrated)...are due to a restriction placed on the temporary access account or if it's an issue with the overall platform. 

First lab launched from a blueprint showed "Relevant Resources were not found".  Terminating that lab, trying to launch any other lab shows "limit reached" popup.  Finally, I got a random lab to launch, only to find out it had nothing to do with how I understood the workflow, or how I intended to use/test the platform.  i.e. vpn client downloaded, but no access info given/available.

The issue with the vpn client itself was another hurdle, but I do have to admit that it was easy once I realized that a download link to the software had been e-mailed to me.  So, I thought that aspect of the experience is resolved.  However, see the second comment.  Everything else, unfortunately, is not.  At this point, I'm not sure what to make of this thing, with 2 hours left in some temporary sandbox access.

I terminated 2 labs in the environment, due to the issues I mentioned above.  I don't have a way to start another lab nor do I have an option to re-deploy or restart the environment that was assigned to me.

Actually, the VPN connection information seems to be incorrect as well.  The instructions for that keep getting an nginx 404 error.

I think I've had enough.  Thanks for trying.

@emiliooo2 From reading other threads the CML is limited in resources right now see this thread from the team  https://community.cisco.com/t5/devnet-sandbox/active-environments-launched-from-this-blueprint-reached/td-p/4976470/jump-to/first-unread-message

Regarding your VPN question/issue. If you are looking to download anyconnect client you need a Cisco ID for this instructions are herehttps://developer.cisco.com/docs/sandbox-anyconnect-installation-guide/#!mac-os-installation/mac-os-installation or you can use openconnect

Thank you.  However, I do have a cisco ID.  I was sent a link to download the annyconnect VPN software.  There are multiple (10?) different packages/features provided in a zip file.  It's unclear which one is required to be installed.  If all of them are installed, then my wifi connection gets dropped until I sign in to my AP through the anyconnect.  Another feature is that the software would run before windows starts.  There is a "help" guide to setting up the vpn connection in more detail, but that link is down. 

It's all right.  I'll stick with gns3 and packet tracer, among other things, for my purposes.  This CML doesn't seem to be quite what I need or want.

Thanks again for your help, though.

 

Sure no problem. The sandbox CML and CML personnel are very different, obviously the latter runs on your local machine like the others you mentioned and there is no need to run any VPN. I don’t think there is a trial for CML personal.
