SR-SIM#

Description A Nokia SR Linux connected back-to-back with Nokia SR OS
Components Nokia SR Linux, Nokia SR OS
Resource requirements1 2
5 GB
Topology file sros-srl.clab.yml
Name sr01
Version information2 containerlab:0.69.0, srlinux:25.7, nokia_srsim:25.7.R1, docker-ce:28.1.1

Description#

A lab consists of an SR Linux node connected with Nokia SR OS via a point-to-point ethernet link between the ethernet-1/1 and 1/1/c1/1 respective interfaces.

Nokia SR OS uses the SR-SIM containerized router.

Both nodes are also provisioned with the basic startup configuration that configures the interface between the nodes with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. As a result, upon the lab deployment, the nodes are able to ping each other over both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols.

Use cases#

This lab allows users to launch basic interoperability scenarios between Nokia SR Linux and Nokia SR OS network operating systems.

The SR-SIM lab directory contains more lab examples with different topologies and configurations that can be used to deploy more complex scenarios.


  1. Resource requirements are provisional. Consult with the installation guides for additional information. 

  2. The lab has been validated using these versions of the required tools/components. Using versions other than stated might lead to a non-operational setup process.
