| **Description** | BGP VPLS between Nokia SR OS and Juniper vMX | | ||
| **Components** | Nokia SR OS, Juniper vMX | | ||
| **Resource requirements**[^1] | :fontawesome-solid-microchip: 2 <br/>:fontawesome-solid-memory: 7-10 GB | | ||
| **Lab location** | :material-github: [hellt/bgp-vpls-lab](https://github.com/hellt/bgp-vpls-lab) | | ||
| **Topology file** | [vpls.yml][topofile] | | ||
| **Version information**[^2] | `containerlab:0.10.1`, `vr-sros:20.10.R1`, `vr-vmx:20.4R1.12`, `docker-ce:19.03.13`, `vrnetlab`[^3] | | ||

||
## Description | ||
This lab demonstrates how containerlab can be used in a classical networking labs where the prime focus is not on the containerized NOS, but on a classic VM-based routers. | ||
|
||
The topology created in this lab matches the network used in the [BGP VPLS Deep Dive](https://netdevops.me/2016/11/bgp-vpls-explained-nokia-juniper/) article: | ||

|
||
It allows readers to follow through the article with the author and create BGP VPLS service between the Nokia and Juniper routers using [configuration snippets](https://github.com/hellt/bgp-vpls-lab/tree/master/configs) provided within the lab repository. | ||
|
||
As the article was done before Nokia introduced MD-CLI, the configuration snippets for SR OS were translated to MD-CLI. | ||
|
||
## Quickstart | ||
1. Ensure that your host supports virtualization and/or nested virtualization in case of a VM. | ||
2. [Install](../install.md)[^4] containerlab. | ||
3. Build if needed, vrnetlab container images for the routers used in the lab. | ||
4. Clone [lab repository](https://github.com/hellt/bgp-vpls-lab). | ||
5. Deploy the lab topology `clab dep -t vpls.yml` | ||

[^1]: Resource requirements are provisional. Consult with the installation guides for additional information. Memory deduplication techniques like [UKMS](https://netdevops.me/2021/how-to-patch-ubuntu-20.04-focal-fossa-with-uksm/) might help with RAM consumption. | ||
[^2]: The lab has been validated using these versions of the required tools/components. Using versions other than stated might lead to a non-operational setup process. | ||
[^3]: Router images are built with vrnetlab [aebe377](https://github.com/hellt/vrnetlab/tree/aebe377f07da9497b1af82c081ca7ff5b072c3f4). To reproduce the image, checkout to this commit and build the relevant images. Note, that you might need to use containerlab of the version that is stated in the description. | ||
[^4]: If installing the latest containerlab, make sure to use the latest [hellt/vrnetlab](https://github.com/hellt/vrnetlab) project as well, as there might have been changes with the integration. If unsure, install the containerlab version that is specified in the lab description. |
