Static B2B LAG

Overview

In this lab two Ixia-c Traffic Engines have a pairs of traffic ports each connected back-2-back in a Containerlab environment. The goal is to demonstrate how to create a static Link Aggregation Group (LAG) consisting of two ports and run traffic over the LAG interface.

Prerequisites

• Linux host or VM with sudo permissions and Docker support
• git - how to install depends on your Linux distro
• Docker
• Containerlab

Clone the repository

1. Clone this repository to the Linux host where you want to run the lab. Do this only once.

   git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/open-traffic-generator/otg-examples.git
   

2. Navigate to the lab folder

   cd otg-examples/clab/ixia-c-one-b2b-lag
   

Install components

1. Install otgen

   bash -c "$(curl -sL https://get.otgcdn.net/otgen)" -- -v 0.6.2
   

Deploy a lab

sudo -E containerlab deploy -t topo.yml

Run otgen tests

1. Flow-based statistics over the LAG

   otgen run --insecure --file otg.yaml --yaml --metrics flow | otgen transform --metrics flow | otgen display -m table
   

2. Individual port statistics showing packet distribution over the LAG members

   otgen run --insecure --file otg.yaml --yaml --metrics port | otgen transform --metrics port | otgen display -m table
   

Destroy the lab

sudo -E containerlab destroy -t topo.yml
