    • evpn-l3-default - Connectivity to evpn leaf nodes with L3 termination using static routes or BGP
    • evpn-l2-vpls - Connectivity to evpn leaf nodes with L2 extending to the DCI, connecting to customer VPLS instance on the DCI
    • evpn-l2-evpl - Connectivity to evpn leaf nodes with L2 extending to the DCI, connecting to customer EVPL instance on the DCI
  • These services call VXLAN services in order to build the corresponding Layer-2 or Layer-3 topology.

• VXLAN Package

  • Implements VXLAN services:
    • routed-topology - VXLAN Layer-3 topology
    • bridged-topology - VXLAN Layer-2 topology

Run the following commands after a new install (or after a make clean):

$ make all                              -- initialize netsim devices and ncs cdb
$ make start                            -- start netsim testbed and ncs
$ make cli					            -- connect to nso cli
admin@ncs# devices fetch-ssh-host-keys
admin@ncs# devices sync-to	            -- update netsim devices configuration with initial cdb data
admin@ncs# devices sync-to	            -- yes, need to do it twice

Before pushing the project to git, remember to clean temporary data:

$ make stop
$ make clean
