The project offers a series of 'IS-IS from rookie to hero' lab exercises using netlab to set up topologies with FRRouting containers or other supported devices. Lab topology files and initial device configurations are available on GitHub, and contributions are welcome. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What tools does the Open-Source IS-IS Configuration Labs project use to set up lab environments? The project uses netlab to set up lab topologies and FRRouting containers as external IS-IS routers. It supports a variety of networking devices; if a device is supported by netlab, the lab topology and basic device configuration are generated in seconds. Lab topology files and initial device configurations are hosted in a GitHub repository under bgplab/isis. _Network engineers building IS-IS labs can track new exercises and tooling updates on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Sample netlab SRv6 Lab Topologies « ipSpace.net blog](https://daily.dev/posts/sample-netlab-srv6-lab-topologies-ipspace-net-blog-s8nppf7yo) · ipSpace.net Blog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [BGP-Free Core with SR-MPLS « ipSpace.net blog](https://daily.dev/posts/bgp-free-core-with-sr-mpls-ipspace-net-blog-h7kronzy3) · ipSpace.net Blog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Multivendor SR-MPLS « ipSpace.net blog](https://daily.dev/posts/multivendor-sr-mpls-ipspace-net-blog-qekokwduk) · ipSpace.net Blog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#bgp](https://daily.dev/tags/bgp), [#networking](https://daily.dev/tags/networking) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/about-the-project-is-is-labs-gjmx2ws3f) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"About the Project « IS-IS Labs","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/about-the-project-is-is-labs-gjmx2ws3f","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/about-the-project-is-is-labs-gjmx2ws3f"},"datePublished":"2026-08-11T08:51:59.009Z","dateModified":"2026-10-14T02:25:47.823Z","description":"Ivan Pepelnjak has launched the Open-Source IS-IS Configuration Labs project, inspired by a suggestion from Henk Smit following the success of the BGP Labs...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--58gMhC4P--/f_auto/v1722860399/public/Placeholder%2012","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--58gMhC4P--/f_auto/v1722860399/public/Placeholder%2012","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"ipSpace.net Blog","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"ipSpace.net Blog","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--xS7E82MT--/f_auto,q_auto/v1786438303/logos/ipspace?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/ipspace"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/about-the-project-is-is-labs-gjmx2ws3f","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"bgp,networking","timeRequired":"PT2M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"ipSpace.net Blog","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/ipspace"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"About the Project « IS-IS Labs"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/about-the-project-is-is-labs-gjmx2ws3f#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What tools does the Open-Source IS-IS Configuration Labs project use to set up lab environments?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The project uses netlab to set up lab topologies and FRRouting containers as external IS-IS routers.
