Technology-Oriented Labs¶

TODO: Flesh this out more. A lot more.

Right now, this page is a sort of scratch pad on things that are likely to be on the exam. It’s lab-oriented, with some specific implementation details.

Lab 1 (Multicast and CRB with QFX)¶

This lab should focus on multicast for BUM replication and VTEP discovery. It should implement VxLAN routing at the spine layer. The spines should be QFX10k Series devices.

Lab 2 (Multicast and CRB with MX)¶

This lab should focus on multicast for BUM replication and VTEP discovery. It should implement VxLAN routing at the spine layer. The spines should be MX Series devices.

Lab 3 (Multicast and ERB)¶

This lab should focus on multicast for BUM replication and VTEP discovery. It should implement VxLAN routing at the leaf layer. Use either the QFX10k or QFX5110 Series for the leaf layer.

Lab 4 (EVPN and CRB with QFX)¶

This lab should focus on BGP EVPN and ingress replication for VTEP discovery. It should implement VxLAN routing at the spine layer. The spines should be QFX10k Series devices.

Lab 5 (EVPN and CRB with MX)¶

This lab should focus on BGP EVPN and ingress replication for VTEP discovery. It should implement VxLAN routing at the spine layer. The spines should be MX Series devices.

Lab 6 (EVPN and ERB)¶

This lab should focus on BGP EVPN and ingress replication for VTEP discovery. It should implement VxLAN routing at the leaf layer. Use either the QFX10k or QFX5110 Series for the leaf layer.

Lab 7 (EVPN Multihoming with QFX)¶

This lab should focus on EVPN using a QFX at the leaf layer. Use any of labs 3 through 6 as the base topology and add EVPN Multihoming at the leaf layer with a QFX Series device.

Lab 8 (EVPN Multihoming with MX)¶

This lab should focus on EVPN using an MX at the leaf layer. Use any of labs 3 through 6 as the base topology and add EVPN Multihoming at the leaf layer with an MX Series device.

Lab 9 (DCI with MX Series EVPN Stitching)¶

Implement a DCI solution with lab 7 or 8 as a starting point and MX Series devices as WAN routers. They should stitch a VxLAN EVPN to an MPLS EVPN solution.

Lab 10 (DCI with MX Series L3VPN)¶

Implement a DCI solution with lab7 or 8 as a starting point and MX Series devices as WAN routers. The VxLAN EVPN solution should simply ride over a normal MPLS L3VPN.

Lab 11 (DCI with VxLAN EVPN and MX)¶

Implement a DCI solution with lab7 or 8 as a starting point and MX Series devices as spines. The solution should be implemented using only VxLAN BGP EVPN.

Lab 12 (DCI with VxLAN EVPN and QFX)¶

Implement a DCI solution with lab7 or 8 as a starting point and QFX10k Series devices as spines. The solution should be implemented using only VxLAN BGP EVPN.
