Jeroen van Bemmel and Stefano Sasso contributed tons of new device features for the netlab release 1.9.5:

Cumulus Linux (NVUE):

• VXLAN and EVPN
• VLAN-aware router (VLAN subinterfaces) functionality
• VRF route leaking
• VRF-aware BGP and full RFC 8950 support (IPv4 BGP AF over regular IPv6 BGP session)
• BGP allowas_in and EBGP multihop

Junos:

• VXLAN and EVPN support on vjunos-switch
• Anycast gateway on vjunos-switch and vjunos-router
• BGP local-as, allowas-in, EBGP multihop, and selective address family activation

We also had several first-time contributors (I love good PRs that appear out of the blue sky):

• @melvync submitted FortiOS configuration tasks fixes. The final fix is the merge of his ideas and the transform data in Jinja2 template approach.
• Steve Ulrich added “collect configuration” functionality for SONiC
• @jdpoland fixed my Edgeshark tool definition FUBAR.

But wait, there’s more:

• LAG module support back-2-back dual MLAG use case with any-to-any links
• Jeroen also added a plugin to deploy VXLAN anycast VTEP in MLAG deployments
• If you configure management IPv4 and MAC addresses on individual nodes (they still have to be within the mgmt pool), netlab uses them to configure the vagrant-libvirt DHCP pool.
• Many CLI commands take --instance parameter to run within the context of the specified lab instance.
• If you messed up your container environment, use the netlab clab cleanup command

For even more goodies, read the release notes.
