This means you can now provide CLI snippets that will be added to the default config. A very useful feature when you want to add a few things to the config, and you don't want to copy the whole config to your lab. #1249 + +We believe this will make your lab repos cleaner and easier to maintain. + +=== "Topology" + ```yaml + name: sros_lab + topology: + nodes: + sros: + kind: vr-sros + startup-config: myconfig.partial.txt + ``` +=== "`myconfig.partial.txt`" + ``` + configure { + router "Base" { + static-routes { + route 192.168.200.200/32 route-type unicast { + next-hop "192.168.0.1" { + admin-state enable + } + } + } + } + } + ``` + +The partial config can be provided as a [local file](../manual/kinds/vr-sros.md#partial-startup-config), [remote URL](../manual/kinds/vr-sros.md#remote-partial-files) or even [embedded](../manual/kinds/vr-sros.md#embedded-partial-files), yay! + +Learn more about partial configs for SR OS [here](../manual/kinds/vr-sros.md#user-defined-config). + +## Embedded startup-configs + +The changes made for allowing SR OS to have partial configs also allowed all other nodes to enjoy embedding startup-configs into the topology file. + +For example, this is a perfectly valid way to provide partial config for a Nokia SR Linux node: + +```yaml +name: srl + +topology: + nodes: + srl: + kind: nokia_srlinux + image: ghcr.io/nokia/srlinux:22.11.2 + startup-config: | + system information location "I am embedded config" +``` + +## Node filtering + +One of the most requested features is finally there. Users wanted to be able to deploy only a subset of nodes defined in their topology file. Usually, this was driven by the need to control the resource usage of the lab and optimize the deployment time. + +Containerlab now allows users to provide a list of nodes to deploy, destroy, save, and graph commands to scope the operation to only those nodes. #1298 + +Check out [Node Filtering docs](../manual/node-filtering.md) for details. + +## CPU and Memory setting for SR OS nodes + +With [hellt/vrnetlab](https://github.com/hellt/vrnetlab/releases/tag/v0.10.1) release v0.10.1 we support setting the CPU and Memory for SR OS nodes. + +Before that feature was available, the CPU and Memory were set to the default values for a particular SR OS variant. This was not ideal as requirements change over time and when resources are underprovisioned, the node may not be able to start. + +Now you can set the CPU and Memory for SR OS nodes directly in the topology file: + +```yaml +# distrubuted node + sr: + kind: vr-sros + type: sr-1e + license: sros22.lic + env: + CP_MEMORY: 6 # CPM MEM + CP_CPU: 4 # CPM CPU + LC_MEMORY: 6 # Line card MEM + LC_CPU: 4 # Line card CPU + +# integrated + sr: + kind: vr-sros + type: sr-1 + license: sros22.lic + env: + MEMORY: 6 + CPU: 4 +``` + +## RARE joins Containerlab + +We are happy to announce that [RARE](../manual/kinds/rare-freertr.md) Network OS is now supported by Containerlab. RARE stands for Router for Academia, Research & Education. + +## Securely connecting to labs with Border0 (experimental) + +With mysocketio rebranding to border0 we had to revisit APIs for creating secured remote access to labs. This is an experimental feature and is not yet fully supported.
