Start

This lab was adapted from a lab that used CSR1000v and XRv9000 in CML. The XRd has been substituted for XRv9000. All XR configuration and functionality is the same, but some outputs may be a little different. For example, on XRd the xconnect counters do not work. Also, when the CSR1000v is used in containerlab, Gi1 is reserved for management, so all interfaces are increased by one compared to the original CML lab. (For example, Gi2 is now Gi3). Keep in mind that CSR1000v outputs will be one interface off.

Many labs are based on Ovi's EVPN course, which I would highly recommend that you use. The course can be found here: https://www.udemy.com/course/evpn-mpls-ios-xe-xr/?couponCode=42BBF686DB819378BD72

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

cd ccie-spv5.1-labs/
containerlab deploy -t evpn/evpn.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 "evpn". This may take a few minutes to complete.

Use the MTPutty session file located in evpn/evpn_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 evpn/evpn.clab.yml
