Cumulus Linux and FRR
| Description | Cumulus Linux connected back-to-back with FRR |
| Components | Cumulus Linux |
| Resource requirements[^1] | 1 1 GB |
| Topology file | topo.clab.yml |
| Name | cvx01 |
| Version information[^2] | cvx:4.3.0 docker-ce:19.03.13 |
Description#
The lab consists of Cumulus Linux and FRR nodes connected back-to-back over a point-to-point ethernet link. Both nodes are also connected to the clab docker network over their management eth0 interfaces.
Configuration#
Both nodes have been provided with a startup configuration and should come up with all their interfaces fully configured.
Once the lab is started, the nodes will be able to ping each other:
$ ssh lab-cvx01-sw1

Use cases#
- Demonstrate how a
cvxnode, running in its defaultigniteruntime, can connect to nodes running in other runtimes, e.g.docker - Demonstrate how to inject startup configuration into a
cvxnode. - Verify basic control plane and data plane operations
