Welcome to Networking Labs, a comprehensive repository designed for networking enthusiasts, students, and professionals. Dive into a variety of hands-on labs that cover crucial networking concepts and technologies, specifically focused on BGP and service provider networks.
This repository aims to provide a practical learning experience through detailed lab exercises. Each lab focuses on real-world scenarios, aiding in understanding complex network setups and configurations. The labs are categorized into sections for easy navigation and a structured learning approach.
In the bgp directory, you'll find labs related to Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), one of the core routing protocols of the Internet. These labs range from basic setups to more advanced configurations.
- 01-basic-bgp: An introductory series for BGP learners.
- arista-ceos: Explore BGP on Arista cEOS.
- cisco-8k: Advanced labs with Cisco 8000 Series, including automated Netconf scripts.
- cisco-csr1000v: Cisco CSR1000V Series configurations.
- cumulus-frr: BGP implementations on Cumulus Linux with FRRouting.
- juniper-vmx: Hands-on labs with Juniper vMX routers.
The service-provider directory offers labs designed to mimic service provider network environments, providing insights into large-scale network operations.
