UI Autolayout

One of the applications available with standard ONOS distribution (and activated by default in this tutorial setup) allows for automatic layout of the network topology in the GUI. Presently, only two layouts are supported, one for access networks (spine-leaf and variants) and the other is to return to the default force-layout that we have been using up to this point of the tutorial. To try this, you can type the following from the ONOS CLI:

Code Block
onos> topo-layout access

Afterwards, you should see the GUI change display to resemble a more familiar depiction of the spine-leaf fabric as show below:

You can of course also switch between different layouts using the provided GUI overlay that can be activated in the Topology View toolbar.
