# Start

These labs are based on Nick Russo's *Inter-AS and Multicast MPLS VPNs* Pluralsight course: <https://www.pluralsight.com/courses/inter-as-multicast-mpls-vpns-cert>

They are directly taken from this course, so I would highly recommend watching this course, and using these labs to test your understanding and follow along.

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

```
cd ccie-spv5.1-labs/
containerlab deploy -t russo-spv4/russo-spv4.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-spv4".

Use the MTPutty session file located in **russo-spv4/russo-spv4\_putty\_sessions.xml** to quickly setup your SSH sessions to the nodes. Go to **Server - Import Tree** and browse for the file.&#x20;

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

```
containerlab destroy -t russo-spv4/russo-spv4.clab.yml
```
