netsim-tools Release 1.1.3
netsim-tools release 1.1.3 brings a number of goodies, including:
- OSPFv3 support on a few platforms (we’re still looking for contributors to implement OSPFv3 on other platforms)
- EIGRP implementation of common routing protocol features (router ID, passive and external interfaces)
- Configurable address family support for IS-IS, OSPF and EIGRP
- Support for /31 IPv4 P2P links
- Configurable MTU for VyOS and RouterOS
Starting with release 1.3, we renamed netsim-tools to netlab.
If you’re building your own libvirt boxes, you might also appreciate:
- netlab show command displays system settings (including image names) in tabular format
- Restructured installation documentation
- Box creating scripts for Cisco CSR 1000v and Juniper vSRX 3.0
The final tidbits:
- netlab up has new flags:
--no-configand--fast-config - netlab install installs Vagrant from Hashicorp repository
To upgrade netsim-tools, use pip3 install --upgrade netsim-tools; if you’re starting from scratch, read the installation instructions.
