Lab: Build an SR-MPLS Network with IS-IS

Want to spend an hour or two configuring some cool stuff this weekend? How about getting SR-MPLS to work with IS-IS and building a BGP-free core with it?

If you already set up your own netlab environment, you probably know what to do (or you can get the details here). Alternatively, you can click here to start the lab in your browser using GitHub Codespaces. After starting the lab environment, change the directory to advanced/10-sr and execute netlab up.

  1. Quick comment, you cannot do this lab in GitHub Codespaces, as it does not allow kernel module loading.

    As per your caveats section https://netlab.tools/caveats/#frrouting

    1. You can use Arista cEOS containers. Contrary to FRRouting and VyOS, which rely on Linux drivers, Arista cEOS has its own data plane for non-IP traffic. But hey, that's explained in the lab exercise 😎

      You could also try to use SR Linux, but it needs a license to run MPLS, and I don't have it 🤷‍♂️

    2. My bad.. Some how my scrolling missed that point when I started looking at the lab ;)
