VIRL Simulation

Many of the examples refers to the DevNet Always-On Sandbox devices. If preferred to use local VIRL file with the examples, an example_testbed.virl file can be downloaded here.

Testbed configuration

We've provided a default_testbed.yaml and devnet_sandbox.yaml to go along with the sample topology. Please double check for the latest IP and hostname information.

Notable Examples

• bgp_adjacencies - "if a neighbor is configured, it should be established"

• crc_errors - "No interface should be accumulating CRC errors"

• hostname_checker - "Verify devices hostname with Testbed file names"
