Description#

The lab is a 5-node topology with 2 servers attached to a pair of leaf switches and a single spine switch.

Use cases#

This is a "Cumulus Test Drive" topology designed to provide an overview of NVIDIA Cumulus Linux. It can be used together with a series of self-paced hands-on labs:

  1. Interface Configuration (Lab2) -- learn how to configure L2 (access, trunk, LAG) and L3 (SVI and VRR) interfaces.
  2. BGP Unnumbered (Lab3) -- learn how to configure BGP unnumbered between leaf and spine switches and advertise locally connected interfaces.

Note

Everything from Lab1 is already pre-configured when the topology is created with lab-start.clab.yml.

Additionally, the lab directory contains a lab-final.clab.yml which will load final configurations as they appear at the end of Lab3.
