The Ansible inventory created by netlab create command contains enough information to configure interfaces and OSPF routing process.
#NETSIMK TUTORIAL INSTALL#
Please follow the instructions in Installing Ansible documentation 1, or use netlab install ansible on Ubuntu. You'll need a working Ansible installation for the rest of this tutorial. => r1: Running 'pre-boot' VM customizations. => r1: Preparing network interfaces based on configuration. => r1: Clearing any previously set network interfaces.

=> r1: Matching MAC address for NAT networking. Creating Configuration FilesĬreate Vagrantfile, hosts.yml (Ansible inventory file) and ansible.cfg (Ansible configuration file) with netlab create command:īringing machine 'r1' up with 'virtualbox' provider.īringing machine 'r2' up with 'virtualbox' provider. To execute individual steps in this process, follow the rest of this section, otherwise skip to connecting to network devices.
#NETSIMK TUTORIAL DOWNLOAD#
If you're using containerlab, download and install cEOS image. box file with vagrant box add vEOS-lab-4.21.14M-virtualbox.box -name arista/veos The most recent vEOS version accessible in that format at the time this document was last updated was vEOS-lab-4.24.8M-virtualbox.box. Alternatively, you could use Cumulus VX, but it's a bit harder to work with unless you're used to working with Linux-based network devices using FRR. We'll use Arista EOS image available for download on Arista's web site (login required). For more complex tutorials, check the More Tutorials section at the end of this document.Julio Perez wrote a container-focused tutorial using Arista cEOS.For a step-by-step tutorial starting with let's create a Linux virtual machine on our Windows/Mac laptop, please read A Quick Introduction to Netsim-Tools by Leo Kirchner.If you plan to run your lab on a Linux server or VM, use (labs/clab.md). If you plan to run your lab on MacOS or Windows, use (labs/virtualbox.md).
