Multi-vendor EVPN VXLAN setup with Containerlab

In this post, we deploy a multivendor EVPN L2 overlay fabric, with BGP in the underlay as well. The entire fabric deployment is automated with Ansible, and Containerlab is used to define and deploy the actual topology.

Introduction and topology

This post continues to build and showcase the power of containerlab. In this post, we will create a multivendor EVPN topology for L2 overlays. The vendors included are Arista (vEOS), Juniper (vQFX), Cumulus (Cumulus VX) and Cisco (N9Kv). Every piece of software used here is free (some might be behind a login, so you'll have to register to get access to image downloads).

The topology is as follows:
