2024-10-14 ยท Full Changelog

Cisco IOL#

Yes, "IOS on Linux" was a hot thing in early 2000s, but if you don't need datapath features and just want to have a lightweight Cisco IOS - Cisco IOL is as light as it gets.

Thanks to @kaelemc and @DanPartelly and their work in #2211, #2235 and https://github.com/hellt/vrnetlab/pull/256 and https://github.com/hellt/vrnetlab/pull/257 you can now experience Cisco IOL in containerlab.

Getting an IOS prompt was never easier, and faster!

Cisco vIOS#

Another good news for Cisco fanboys and fangirls, there is yet another NOS, apparently abbreviated as vIOS that is now supported in containerlab thanks to the effort from @jaro0149 in https://github.com/hellt/vrnetlab/pull/249.

This variant doesn't have its own kind in containerlab, because you can get away with the regular linux kind, as explained in the docs.

Huawei VRP#

And yet another contribution to vrnetlab/containerlab that adds a new system - this time from @rafabr and his work in https://github.com/hellt/vrnetlab/pull/250 that adds huawei_vrp system.

Both N40E and CE12800 images were tested and they come with startup-config support. Great work @rafabr!

Miscellaneous#

  • vrnetlab images are now tagged with vrnetlab-version label to help you identify when they were build and off of which vrnetlab commit
  • updated N9Kv system requirements (cpu and mem bump)
  • ssh config file is now explicitly created with 644 permissions
  • documentation prefix 3fff is used for v6 addresses for containerlab-driven management addresses. Thanks @hyposcaler-bot
