sandbox and vpn issues

[elijah-montalvo7]

good afternoon,

I believe I have everything downloaded like I should have and I'm pretty sure that I've established a secure VPN with cisco. For some reason I cannot see this import button like on the instructions under lab topology. it says I have about 7 hours left for Cisco modeling lab. I'm not very computer savvy but I think with a bit more instruction, I can figure it out. Thank you for any help that you can offer me.

Hi @elijah-montalvo7 

Which lab are you running? What exactly "import button" do you mean?
If you are using Cisco Modeling Labs sandbox, you can see if you can reach CML server hosted in a lab: https://10.10.20.161 - if so, then you are connected and you are ready to go.

Also, you can verify your connection status on a Secure Client (Anyconnect) VPN.

Let me know if additional help is needed.

Thank you for such a quick response. I was following the directions to
practice “configure your first ACL” but had a problem importing
CNA-topology.yami once I got everything downloaded. I’m not to great using
a computer but I am hungry to learn a new skill.

Could you provide us the URL to the lab where the instructions you are trying to follow are located so we can understand your issue better?

modeling labs . After that I get a screen saying “let’s launch an
environment. After that I get lost##- Please type your reply above this

I'd suggest you to contact with your instructor directly or use the support option on a website this is hosted.

Unfortunately I'm not able to open this URL on my end.

Hi,

Unfortunately, I cannot open that on my end either. Can you check and repost?
The CML sandbox direct link is https://devnetsandbox.cisco.com/DevNet/catalog/cml-sandbox#instructions
Right now, all CML spaces are active so you will need to wait until a space becomes available before your can launch.

@elijah-montalvo7 i saw another user post this same question - the third party who you are following for lab, is going overkill asking you to use CML here, this task can be completed on one of the always on sandboxes such as the IOS XE. The CML sandbox is very popular and getting a reservation for a task like this will only slow your learning down.

Check the sandbox catlog for always on devices and use these instead.

Hope this helps.

Thank you to all that replied. I was not available to answer for a time but will be available all day today if anyone can help me figure out how to use cisco properly.

@elijah-montalvo7 came you share what you are being asked to configure please? Once knowing the task, might be able to suggest which sandbox to use so you can complete the task.

i'm now getting a 400 bad request . i'm not able to log in.

@elijah-montalvo7 
Let's start from the basics. What course do you participate in for your study? Is that course on u.cisco.com? Please provide us the course's specific name and the URL to it.
Please also provide us more information about what website you experience 400 Bad Request error on.
Also - as @bigevilbeard mentioned - please let us know what exactly part of the course is problematic for you, so we can help you with that and guide you what is the best resource on devnet sandbox to use to lab the scenario presented on that specific task you need to accomplish as a part of a course.
