This lab provides exposure to the new technology and capabilities of the Arista products used. This lab introduces the Arista Cloud Vision Portal(CVP) and includes 3 VXLAN EVPN scenarios based on best practices from the Arista design guides, ACE3 course material and Arista TAC support the Arista EOS forum posts. There are many different ways to create an Arista-based VXLAN EVPN fabric; these 3 lab scenarios presents 1) a migration phase from a standard 3 tier VLAN and SVI-based network to a VXLAN fabric, 2) using Asymmetrical IRB and 3)Symmetrical IRB. BGP routing is the underlay, overlay, and connectivity to the remote data center under migration. This sandbox and configs can be further used to explore other configurations and functionality of Arista CVP.

This environment provides a highly performant environment to test the deployment and tuning of different NVIDIA NIMs and Blueprints.

This Arista MP-BGP EVPN Lab provides exposure to the new technology and capabilities of the products used. This lab introduces the Arista Cloud Vision Portal(CVP) and introduces students to the basics of building the VXLAN L3LS Underlay, MP-BGP overlay, MLAG, Asymmetric and Symmetric IRB, and eternal L2/L3 connectivity. It also provides an in-depth look at Arista Cloud Vision Portal(CVP) and how to use it for day 0,1 building and day 2 operations. 3 VXLAN EVPN scenarios based on best practices from the Arista design guides, ACE3 course material, Arista TAC support the Arista EOS forum posts. There are many different ways to create an Arista-based VXLAN EVPN fabric; these labs present a migration phase from a standard 3 tier VLAN and SVI-based network to a VXLAN fabric, Then the fabric changes to using Asymmetrical IRB and Symmetrical IRB. BGP routing is the underlay, overlay and connectivity to the remote data center under migration.

This lab will enable a student to build a basic Multi-Site fabric using Apstra for complete end-to-end connectivity.
