A utility to help practice and study for CCIE-RS-Lab in a GNS3 environment.

Topology

GNS3 physical topology

Logical Topology

OSPF Topology

BGP Topology

Setup

Install GNS3 in a Windows machine - https://www.gns3.com/software/download
Install GNS3 VM in an ESXI - https://docs.gns3.com/1hEoK0rmtdBRnMaUaVoMHUbYwtDAltXYShiMJUp1GMxk/index.html
Install this utility in a linux or mac machine using git pull https://github.com/packetscaper/CCIE-RS-Lab.git
Validate that there is connectivity between the linux or mac machine running this utility to the host running GNS3 as well as the GNS3 VM
Download the topology.gns3 file and open it in GNS3. If this does't work then rebuild the lab in gns3, save the topology as topology.gns3 and replace this topology.gns3
Initialize yamlfilefiles/console.yaml based on your environment

i. gns3_vmware_ip is the ip over which the GNS3 VM can be accessed

ii. gns3_host_ip is the ip over which gns3 utility runs. Generally a windows machine

iii. map the ports of the various routers as seen on your gns3 environment after opening the topology.gns3
Download topology.gns3 file and open it in GNS3.
Copy INE R&S v5 labs in the config folder.
Install Netmiko python library
```
pip install netmiko
```

Usage

Initialize the lab

Eg.

 #ipython
 : from init import *
 
 : start_all()
 
 : init_lab()
 
 : stop('R3')
 
 : stop('R3')

Send and verify commands

Eg.

 :send('all','show ip int br')
 
 :send(['R1','R2','R5'],'show cdp neighbor')
 
 :send(['R1','R5'],['router eigrp 1,'network 155.1.0.0 0.0.255.255'])
 
 :send('R1','show ip eigrp neighbor')

Initialize routing labs

Eg.

 :init_eigrp()
 
 :remove_eigrp()
 
 :init_ospf()
 
 :remove_ospf()
 
 :init_bgp()
 
 :reset_lab()

Load INE labs

Eg.

 :lslab() # displays all the labs
 
 :lslab(ospf) # displays all the OSPF labs
 
 :load('bgp.full','all')  # loads the bgp.full lab.

Help

 :help() # displays all the features
