sample evpn lab

• A baseline setup for EVPN L2 and L3 services made with Nokia SRL, using VXLAN transport.
• Runs on containerlab , see the clab.yml file and edit as your scenario requires (e.g. Leaf&Spine or MH)
• Router configurations are provided under the flat-config dir.

lab setup

Two Alpine nodes are connected to a four-nodes "core", internal cross-links can be added to mimic a leaf&spine setup.

the picture shows ethernet port connectivity and the underlay IGP setup

these are the services already provided in the configuration, a L2 point to point and a L3 EVPN-based service

wireshark pcap evpn_l2.pcap shows EVPN route-type 2 exchange

wireshark pcap evpn_l3.pcap shows EVPN route-type 5 exchange

client configuration

Just copy'n'paste to Alpine nodes to get reachability for L2/L3 services
