Consult with the installation guides for additional information.

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. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/mkdocs.yml b/mkdocs.yml index 917a41abb..7769f80dc 100644 --- a/mkdocs.yml +++ b/mkdocs.yml @@ -46,6 +46,7 @@ nav: - Nokia SR Linux and Cisco XRv9k: lab-examples/vr-xrv9k.md - Nokia SR Linux and Cisco XRv: lab-examples/vr-xrv.md - Nokia SR Linux and FRR: lab-examples/srl-frr.md + - BGP VPLS between Nokia and Juniper: lab-examples/bgp-vpls-nok-jun.md site_author: Roman Dodin site_description: >-
