containerlabs_sandbox

• 01.09.2026 - SR Linux l2-evpn completed

  • srlinux_labs/lab3/configs/L2-evpn

• 12.13.2025 - Playing with evpn and vxlan on ceos in ceos_lab/lab4 (2spine/3leaf)

  • Three flavors:
    • static vxlan
    • ospf/bgp evpn
    • bgp/bgp evpn
  • MLAG between leaf1a/b
  • Configs for these solutions can be found in the lab4/scripts/conf_bkup

• This repo will store store some labs as I mess around with this tool.

• Apple silicon has required me to go down this path. Now I'm glad it did.

• So far using srlinux, cEOS and FRR, (all freely available)

• With in couple of hours I've figured out how to use FRR in the way I was hoping to use cEOS.

• After some digging I found I was making too difficult to ssh into cEOS containerlab has that working out of the gates

• FRR is a much lighter performant image with my Mac M1.

• FRR/first_lab - basically just tested the routing and got ssh working

  • How to run multiple commands on frr router from shell
    • docker exec sh -c "vtysh -c '<>' -c '<>'"
    • docker exec clab-frr_lab-router1 sh -c "vtysh -c 'show version' -c 'show interface eth0' -c 'show ip route'"
  • Got ansible connected to FRR hosts can run show/config commands in ssh and non_ssh

• ceos_labs/lab1 - first functional arista lab on this platform

• ceos_labs/lab2 - More devices and eats more resources - if I reboot orbstack before running I have better success with it

• srlinux - work-in-progress
