The idea is to set up virtual testbed with mix of VM and container images,
e.g. Cisco csr1000v and Juniper cRPD or Nokia SR Linux.
I've used KubeVirt for unified control plane and Multus to have more interfaces in virtual routers.
Install docker at first.
Then install kubectl and kind tool, e.g.
curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/$(curl -sL https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl"
chmod +x ./kubectl
sudo mv ./kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
version=$(basename $(curl -s -w %{redirect_url} https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kind/releases/latest))
curl -Lo ./kind https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/dl/${version}/kind-linux-amd64
chmod +x ./kind
sudo mv ./kind /usr/local/bin/kind
Run vLab installation script:
bash <(curl -Ls "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mbakalarski/vLab/main/vlab_install.sh") kubevirt
or
bash <(curl -Ls "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mbakalarski/vLab/main/vlab_install.sh") nokubevirt
Expose VM images via http access, e.g.:
docker run --name www -dt --mount type=bind,source=$HOME/images,target=/usr/share/nginx/html -p 8080:80 nginx:latest
To create topology:
cd <Lab folder>
kubectl apply -f ./manifests/
and use CNI accept-bridge for each secondary network.
Then connect to console:
virtctl console <router name>
*) virtctl - in KubeVirt project; easy installation
and/or for containerized router:
kubectl exec -ti <router name> -- bash
