1. A computer-implemented method in a graphical user interface (GUI) for configuring a network, wherein the graphical user interface (GUI) is configured to perform a method comprising:
receiving a network selection via a graphical user interface (GUI) displayed on a client device, wherein network selection options are interactively updated via a network configuration controller using the network selection;
generating a component listing for at least a part of the network using the network selection;
presenting, on the GUI, a network view based on the network selection, wherein the network view includes a graphical representation of a data center network incorporating the network selection;
presenting, on the GUI, a component listing based on the network selection;
configuring a component from the component listing interactively by receiving, via the GUI, a component selection, and updating component selection options using the component selection, and presenting a component view interactively updated using the component selection, wherein the component view includes a graphical representation of the selected component; and
presenting a schedule of lead times for components of the component listing, generated by simulating assembly of the components of the component listing.
