Containerlab SR Linux & FRR Automation Lab

This project uses Containerlab to simulate a BGP network with Nokia SR Linux and FRR routers.
Automation is handled using Ansible and gNMI (pygnmi) to configure network devices.

Features

• BGP Peering (SR Linux ↔ FRR)
• Static routing
• Automated configuration with Ansible
• gNMI-based config for SR Linux
• Easily extendable topology

Usage

1. Deploy lab: containerlab deploy -t clab.yml
2. Set up a superuser (required before Ansible can log in): docker exec clab-minimal-lab-srl1 sr_cli enter candidate set system aaa authentication user mohammed password "strongpassword" set system aaa authentication user mohammed superuser true
3. Set root password for frr: docker exec -it clab-minimal-lab-frr1 bash -c 'echo "root:root" | chpasswd'
4. Run Ansible playbook: ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml configure_lab.yml

To do

• Add more nodes (e.g. srl2, leaf2, alpine hosts)
• CI/CD (optional)
