Start

To launch the lab, you must have already installed containerlab and cloned the git repo.

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

cd ccie-spv5.1-labs/
containerlab deploy -t mvpn/mvpn.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 "mvpn".

Use the MTPutty session file located in mvpn/mvpn_putty_sessions.xml to quickly setup your SSH sessions to the nodes. Go to Server - Import Tree and browse for the file. This requires you to use the same management IPs for your nodes as I did. If you changed your management IPs, you must edit the xml file first before importing it into MTPutty.

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

containerlab destroy -t mvpn/mvpn.clab.yml
