vJunos-switch#

Thanks to contributions from @akielaries done in #1553 and accompanying vrnetlab PR containerlab gets support for Juniper vJunos-switch. This is a new VM-based virtual product from Juniper that has been integrated in containerlab by juniper folks, kudos to them!

Find topology file in a directory#

For quite a while containerlab had two ways of finding which topology file to use when deploying/destroing/inspecting a lab:

when users provide a path to a topology file via -t flag, containerlab will use that file
when users do not provide a path to a topology file (no -t flag present), containerlab would search for a file named *.clab.yml in the current directory and use it.

Now @steiler enhanced this functionality by making sure that if a user provides a path with -t flag that points to a directory, then we will apply topology file finding logic in this directory, instead of bailing out with an error.

suppress-startup-config#

@bewing added a new node parameter called suppress-config to give users ability to suppress startup config generation for a given node or a set of nodes. This is particularly useful in scenarios when you want to test ZTP and thus make sure containerlab doesn't add anything on its own accord.
