Scenario

You will need to deliver the requirements listed below

  • Create a public github repository and by using branches develop the following task entries/features
  • Create a README.MD file with your details and some explanation about this lab
  • Push

Using ansible playbooks:

  • branch clos: Define a bgp/evpn clos topology

    you are free to chose between unnumbered/static addressing

  • branch mlag: Define MLAG/ESI.

    you are free to chose static or dynamic configuration and opting between ESI/MLAG

  • branch vlan: Define a vlan

  • branch userports: set ethernet1 ports as access members of defined vlan

  • branch telemetry: set monitoring details, credentials, descriptions

Monitoring:

  • Create a monitoring solution for this structure on jump server. Snmp is good, other solutions are preferred.

Golden tickets:

  1. vcs machines should be able to ping each other on same vlan between racks.
  2. A monitoring solution, it must update the operator about thresolds and outages. These updates must happen less than a minute when any sensor triggers.
