Start

These labs use the XRd topology, called topology1. Note that I initially did these labs with XRv9K version 7.7.1. Almost everything is supported identically on XRd, except for L2 vlan rewrites. This is noted in the EVPN-VPWS lab.

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

cd ccie-spv5.1-labs/
containerlab deploy -t topology1/topology1.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 "topology1".

Use the MTPutty session file located in topology1/topology1_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 topology1/topology1.clab.yml
