  1. Install ContainerLab as described here
  2. Fetch mpls-xconn11 file
  3. Launch ContainerLab mpls-xconn11.yml topology: 

   containerlab deploy --topo mpls-xconn11.yml
4. Destroy ContainerLab mpls-xconn11.yml topology: 

   containerlab destroy --topo mpls-xconn11.yml
5. Copy-paste configuration for each node in the lab topology

  1. Fetch or compile freeRtr rtr.jar file.
    You can grab it here
  2. Fetch mpls-xconn11.tst file here
  3. Launch mpls-xconn11.tst test: 

   java -jar ../../rtr.jar test tester mpls-xconn11 path ./ temp ./ wait
4. Destroy freeRtr mpls-xconn11.tst test: 

   Ctrl-C (In freeRtr test window)
