Arista EVPN VXLAN 101 Lab
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.

Cisco Nexus Dashboard 4.1 (1g) Sandbox
The Nexus Dashboard Sandbox provides a self-paced environment where you can explore and experiment without guided instructions. Unlike a structured guide lab, this sandbox offers multiple isolated environments for you to practice onboarding devices, configuring vPCs, VRFs, network segmentation, and tenant connectivity entirely on your own. You can test external route advertisement, route leaking between VRFs, and the interaction of Border Gateways and Border Gateway Spines, as well as experiment with Multi-Site Domain integration. This sandbox is designed to give you hands-on freedom to explore Nexus Dashboard's centralized management, visibility, and operational capabilities, building confidence in fabric management through trial, error, and discovery.
Cisco Nexus Dashboard 4.1: VXLAN EVPN Fabric Deployment
Nexus Dashboard provides a centralized platform to simplify the deployment, management, and extension of VXLAN EVPN fabrics. In this hands-on lab, you will start by onboarding devices, then configure vPCs, VRFs, and networks to enable segmentation and tenant connectivity. You'll also implement external route advertisement, route leaking between VRFs, and explore the roles of Border Gateways versus Border Gateway Spines. Finally, you'll integrate multiple fabrics into a Multi-Site Domain, building a scalable, distributed architecture. This lab demonstrates the value of Nexus Dashboard in providing centralized visibility, streamlining operations, and simplifying complex fabric management across sites.
