You'll describe your high-level network topology and routing design in a YAML file, and the tools in this repository will\n\n* Create *Vagrantfile* configuration file for *libvirt/KVM* environment\n* Create *containerlab* configuration file to run Docker containers\n* Create Ansible inventory and configuration file\n* Create IPv4 and IPv6 addressing plan and OSPFv2, OSPFv3, EIGRP, IS-IS, RIPv2, RIPng, and BGP routing design\n* Configure IPv4, IPv6, DHCP, DHCPv6, VLANs, VRFs, VXLAN, LLDP, BFD, OSPFv2, OSPFv3, EIGRP, IS-IS, BGP, RIPv2, RIPng, VRRP, LACP, LAG, MLAG, link bonding, STP, anycast gateways, static routes, route maps, prefix lists, AS-path prefix lists, route redistribution, default route origination, MPLS, BGP-LU, L3VPN (VPNv4 + VPNv6), 6PE, EVPN, SR-MPLS, or SRv6 on your lab devices.\n\nInstead of wasting time creating a lab topology in a GUI and configuring boring details, you'll start with a lab preconfigured according to your specifications.\n\nInterested? [Read the documentation](https://netlab.tools) and [installation guidelines](https://netlab.tools/install/).\n\n## Releases\n\nThe latest release is [release 2.0.0](https://github.com/ipspace/netlab/releases/tag/release_2.0.0). It should be pretty stable, but if you encounter bugs, please report them as [GitHub issues](https://github.com/ipspace/netlab/issues/new/choose) and use release [1.9.6](https://github.com/ipspace/netlab/releases/tag/release_1.9.6).\n\n\u003c!--\nor [1.8.4-post2](https://github.com/ipspace/netlab/releases/tag/release_1.8.4-post2).\n\nIf you encounter bugs using release 1.7.x, please downgrade to [1.6.4](https://github.com/ipspace/netlab/releases/tag/release_1.6.4) and [open a GitHub issue](https://github.com/ipspace/netlab/issues).\n--\u003e\n\n## An Overview of CLI Commands\n\n**netlab up**\n: Uses **[netlab create](https://netlab.tools/netlab/create/)** to create configuration files, starts the virtual lab, and uses **[netlab initial](https://netlab.tools/netlab/initial/)** to deploy device configurations, including IP addressing, LLDP, OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, EIGRP, VRRP, VLANs, VRFs, MPLS, SR-MPLS, VXLAN, EVPN and SRv6. [More details](https://netlab.tools/netlab/up/)\n\n**netlab down**\n: Destroys the virtual lab. [More details](https://netlab.tools/netlab/down/)\n\n**netlab restart**\n: Restart and/or reconfigure the virtual lab. [More details](https://netlab.tools/netlab/restart/)\n\n**netlab config**\n: [Applies additional Jinja2 configuration templates](https://netlab.tools/netlab/config/) to network devices.\n\n**netlab collect**\n: Using Ansible fact gathering or other device-specific Ansible modules, [collects device configurations](https://netlab.tools/netlab/collect/) and saves them in the specified directory (default: **config**).\n\n**netlab connect**\n: Use SSH or **docker exec** to [connect to a lab device](https://netlab.tools/netlab/connect/) using device names, management network IP addresses (**ansible_host**), SSH port, and username/passwords specified in lab topology or *netlab* device defaults.\n\n**netlab exec**\n: Use SSH or **docker exec** to [execute a command on one or more network devices](https://netlab.tools/netlab/exec/) using device names, management network IP addresses (**ansible_host**), SSH port, and username/passwords specified in lab topology or *netlab* device defaults.\n\n**netlab capture**\n: [Perform packet capture](https://netlab.tools/netlab/capture/) on VM- and container interfaces\n\n**netlab report**\n: Creates a report from the transformed lab topology data.  [More details](https://netlab.tools/netlab/report/)\n\n**netlab graph**\n: Creates a lab topology graph description in Graphviz or D2 format. [More details](https://netlab.tools/netlab/graph/)\n\n**netlab show**\n: Display system settings in tabular, text, or YAML format. [More details](https://netlab.tools/netlab/show/)\n\n**netlab defaults**\n: Display and manage system defaults. [More details](https://netlab.tools/netlab/defaults/)\n\n**netlab usage**\n: Display and manage usage statistics.
