These labs were taken from Nick Russo's excellent BGP multihoming series on youtube which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVNoobuVsP4&list=PL3Y9eZjZCcsejbVWD3wJIePqe3NiImqxB

I would highly recommend using these labs to follow along while you complete this youtube course.

These labs use an IOL node. This an a very lightweight IOS-XE image that runs on linux. Eth0/0 is used for management, so all interface numbers need to be increased by one. Outputs in the explanation sections will still reflect the old (i.e. Eth0/0) interface, but config solutions will reflect the correct (i.e. Eth0/1) interface.

To begin, run the following command on your containerlab machine:

cd ccie-spv5.1-labs/
containerlab deploy -t russo-bgp-iol/russo-bgp-iol.clab.yml --reconfigure

Once all nodes are started, run the following command to transfer the config files to all nodes. These files will be used to change between startup configs for subsequent labs.

python3 transfer_configs_to_nodes.py

The script will prompt you for a directory name. Enter "russo-bgp-iol". This may take a few minutes to complete.

Use the MTPutty session file located in russo-bgp-iol/russo-bgp-iol_putty_sessions.xml to quickly setup your SSH sessions to the nodes. Go to Server - Import Tree and browse for the file.

When you are done with the lab, use the following command to wipe it:

containerlab destroy -t russo-bgp-iol/russo-bgp-iol.clab.yml
