VXLAN EVPN lab 14 of 14

Capstone with a two-tenant multi-vendor fabric

Design and build a two-tenant fabric from a requirements list: Cumulus and vEOS leaves, an all-active Ethernet segment, a border leaf and a WAN router.

Run this lab

It needs Standard: its 10 nodes are set to 10 vCPU and 12,800 MB in total.

In your workspace: Shared, then VXLAN EVPN fabrics guided labs, then 14 - Capstone with a two-tenant multi-vendor fabric

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 10 vCPU and 12,800 MB together. Every lab plan includes every guided lab.

The scenario

Calder Freight is opening a second data hall, and this time you're the designer and the installer. The underlay and the EVPN sessions are done. You have a hardware list and a set of requirements, and no step-by-step instructions. Use anything from the earlier labs.

What you’ll practise

  • Build a complete EVPN fabric from requirements
  • Combine stretched segments, tenants and multihoming
  • Connect one tenant to the WAN and keep the other isolated

The tasks

  • Task 0: Start the lab
  • Requirements

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

How to open this lab

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

  2. In File Manager, open Shared, then the folder VXLAN EVPN fabrics guided labs.

  3. Open 14 - Capstone with a two-tenant multi-vendor fabric 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.
