  1. Install ContainerLab as described here
  2. Fetch mpls-xconn15 file
  3. Launch ContainerLab mpls-xconn15.yml topology:

   containerlab deploy --topo mpls-xconn15.yml  
4. Destroy ContainerLab mpls-xconn15.yml topology:

   containerlab destroy --topo mpls-xconn15.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-xconn15.tst file here
  3. Launch mpls-xconn15.tst test:

   java -jar ../../rtr.jar test tester mpls-xconn15 path ./ temp ./ wait
4. Destroy freeRtr mpls-xconn15.tst test:

   Ctrl-C (In freeRtr test window)
