+## Description
+A lab consists of an SR Linux node connected with Cisco XRv via a point-to-point ethernet link. Both nodes are also connected with their management interfaces to the `clab` docker network.
+
+Cisco XRv VM is launched as a container, using [vrnetlab integration](../manual/vrnetlab.md).

+
+## Use cases
+This lab allows users to launch basic interoperability scenarios between Nokia SR Linux and Cisco XRv network operating systems.
+
+The lab directory [contains](https://github.com/srl-wim/container-lab/tree/master/lab-examples/vr03) files with essential configurations which can be used to jumpstart the interop demonstration.

+# Cisco XRv
+
+[Cisco XRv](https://www.juniper.net/us/en/products-services/routing/mx-series/XRv/) virtualized router is identified with `vr-xrv` kind in the [topology file](../topo-def-file.md). It is built using [vrnetlab](../vrnetlab.md) project and essentially is a Qemu VM packaged in a docker container format.
+
+vr-xrv nodes launched with containerlab comes up pre-provisioned with SSH, SNMP, NETCONF and gNMI (if available) services enabled.
+
+## Managing vr-xrv nodes
+
+!!!note
+    Containers with XRv inside will take ~5min to fully boot.  
+    You can monitor the progress with `docker logs -f <container-name>`.
+
+Cisco XRv node launched with containerlab can be managed via the following interfaces:
+
+=== "bash"
+    to connect to a `bash` shell of a running vr-xrv container:
+    ```bash
+    docker exec -it <container-name/id> bash
+    ```
+=== "CLI via SSH"
+    to connect to the XRv CLI
+    ```bash
+    ssh admin@<container-name/id>
+    ```
+=== "NETCONF"
+    NETCONF server is running over port 830
+    ```bash
+    ssh admin@<container-name> -p 830 -s netconf
+    ```
+=== "gNMI"
+    using the best in class [gnmic](https://gnmic.kmrd.dev) gNMI client as an example:
+    ```bash
+    gnmic -a <container-name/node-mgmt-address> --insecure \
+    -u clab -p clab@123 \
+    capabilities
+    ```
+
+!!!info
+    Default user credentials: `clab:clab@123`
+
+## Interfaces mapping
+vr-xrv container can have up to 90 interfaces and uses the following mapping rules:
+
+* `eth0` - management interface connected to the containerlab management network
+* `eth1` - first data interface, mapped to first data port of XRv line card
+* `eth2+` - second and subsequent data interface
+
+When containerlab launches vr-xrv node, it will assign IPv4/6 address to the `eth0` interface. These addresses can be used to reach management plane of the router.
+
+Data interfaces `eth1+` needs to be configured with IP addressing manually using CLI/management protocols.
+
+
+## Features and options
+### Node configuration
+vr-xrv nodes come up with a basic configuration where only the control plane and line cards are provisioned, as well as the `clab` user and management interfaces such as NETCONF, SNMP, gNMI.
+
+## Lab examples
+The following labs feature vr-xrv node:
+
+- [SR Linux and Cisco XRv](../../lab-examples/vr-xrv.md)
+
+## Known issues and limitations
+* LACP and BPDU packets are not propagated to/from vrnetlab based routers launched with containerlab.
