Nokia SR OS NRS I lab 14 of 14

Capstone provider network build

Build a three-router provider network from the ports up: IS-IS, LDP, MP-BGP, SDPs, and then an Epipe, a VPLS, a VPRN and an IES for three customers.

Run this lab

It needs Standard: its 6 nodes are set to 9 vCPU and 15,936 MB in total.

In your workspace: Shared, then Nokia SR OS NRS I guided labs, then 14 - Capstone provider network build

Run it on Standard from £5 a day

The free demo can’t run it: it has 6 vCPU and 8 GB, and this lab’s nodes need 9 vCPU and 15,936 MB together. Every lab plan includes every guided lab.

The scenario

This is the job the last thirteen labs were for. Rivermark is opening a new three-router network, and you're building it alone. The hardware is provisioned, the system addresses are set, and the ports are up. Each router has one customer-facing port, 1/1/c3/1, in access mode with dot1q, and a CPE behind it, H1, H2 and H3, already tagged for the services below.

There are no step-by-step instructions this time. Use the plan, and work from the bottom up: a service can't work until the layers beneath it do.

What you’ll practise

  • Plan a build from the bottom layer up
  • Build an IS-IS and LDP core
  • Build a full mesh of iBGP sessions and SDPs
  • Deliver four service types on one port
  • Test each service from the customer side

The tasks

  1. Build the core
  2. Build the BGP mesh
  3. Build the SDPs and customers
  4. Build the services
  5. Test, then save

The Lab Tasks pane has the scenario, these tasks, the checks to run, hints and the full solution.

Topology and devices

The network as it opens in EVE-NG, drawn from the lab’s own canvas, and the image each node runs.

How to open this lab

  1. Sign in to your workspace at lab.cloudlabbox.com.

  2. In File Manager, open Shared, then the folder Nokia SR OS NRS I guided labs.

  3. Open 14 - Capstone provider network build and start its nodes, then open Lab Tasks for the scenario and the steps.

The lab is read-only. You can start the nodes and configure the devices, but changes to the topology can’t be saved. To change it, rebuild it in your own folder.
