ENCOR Lab Builder 1.9.0

New: walkthrough labs, a BGP EVPN VXLAN spine-and-leaf walkthrough, and a red "RAM heavy" tag.

  • Walkthrough lab type: a guided build in ordered steps. Each step has an explanation, the config per device with copy buttons, verification commands with expected output, Check this step and an optional Apply this step for me. There's a progress bar, free back/forward movement and a final summary. Walkthroughs have no Break my lab or exam mode, and they are tracked separately on the Progress page. CLI: encorlab step.
  • 18-evpn-vxlan: BGP EVPN VXLAN on Nexus 9000v (nxosv9000). It has 2 spines as route reflectors, 2 leaves and 4 light IOS hosts.
    • Steps cover the OSPF underlay, the loopbacks/VTEPs and the iBGP l2vpn evpn overlay.
    • The data plane is NVE with ingress replication.
    • VLAN 10 and VLAN 20 are extended as VNI 10010 and 10020.
    • You verify type-2 and type-3 routes, NVE peers and MAC learning, and finish with an optional L3VNI/anycast gateway step.
    • It needs about 52 GB of CML RAM and 12 vCPUs.
    • It is also available as the standalone pack evpn-vxlan-walkthrough.encorlab (the same lab; only needed on older installs or to share) and in the new Data center course.
  • RAM estimate on every lab, plus a red RAM heavy · ~N GB tag at or above 16 GB (configurable in Settings). The tag shows in the lab list, on the lab page, in courses, in the library and in the new Build confirmation.

The runtime is unchanged, so existing 1.7/1.8 installs update in place with the patch. See CHANGELOG.md for the full list.
