Fast FRR Container Configuration
The infrastructure generating device configuration files in netlab was expanded to configure FRR containers using bash scripts for data-plane features and vtysh for control-plane features, with plans to replace both with Linux scripts executed via docker exec.
MAIN POINTS
- Netlab infrastructure generates device configuration files outside Ansible playbooks.
- FRR containers are configured using bash scripts for data-plane features.
- Control-plane features in FRR containers use vtysh for configuration.
- Plans to replace current methods with Linux scripts executed by docker exec.
TAKEAWAYS
- Netlab's configuration process is being extended beyond Linux containers to FRR containers.
- Current configuration involves separate mechanisms for data-plane and control-plane features.
- The goal is to streamline the process using Linux scripts with docker exec.
- This change aims to simplify and unify the configuration approach for FRR containers.
