The star of the netlab release 1.3.2 is Mikrotik RouterOS version 7. Stefano Sasso did a fantastic job adding support for VLANs, VRFs, OSPFv2, OSPFv3, BGP, MPLS, and MPLS/VPN, plus the libvirt box-building recipe.

Jeroen van Bemmel contributed another major PR¹ adding VLANs, VRFs, VXLAN, EVPN, and OSPFv3 to Nokia SR OS.

Other platform improvements include:

• OSPFv3 on Cumulus Linux and Cisco Nexus OS
• EVPN on Cisco Nexus OS
• EVPN VLAN bundle service on Nokia SR Linux
• EVPN over IPv6 LLA sessions on Cumulus Linux and FRR
• BGP local-as on EBGP VRF sessions on Cumulus Linux
• Configurable BGP address families on VyOS and Dell OS10

We also added new functionality, including:

• Static IPv4/IPv6 addresses on containerlab management network
• EVPN transit VNI shared between VRFs
• Define VLAN and VRF parameters in groups
• Disable OSPF, EIGRP, or IS-IS on a link or an interface
• Disable EBGP sessions on a link or an interface

Upgrading is as easy as ever: execute pip3 install --upgrade networklab.
