Since netlab intentionally avoids vendor-specific features, this external tool leverages netlab's standardized JSON/YAML input and output files to add SD-WAN functionality independently, demonstrating how netlab's open architecture enables community-built extensions. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Is there native Cisco SD-WAN support in netlab? Netlab does not include native Cisco SD-WAN support, and the maintainers may never add it, as netlab is intentionally scoped to avoid becoming a kitchen sink of vendor-specific features. Instead, a community-built external tool by Sebastien d'Argoeuves automates Cisco SD-WAN deployment after a netlab lab is started, using netlab's standardized JSON/YAML input and output files. _Network engineers extending netlab for SD-WAN labs track community tools like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [AI-Ready, Simpler, and More Secure WAN: Cisco SD-WAN Innovations](https://daily.dev/posts/ai-ready-simpler-and-more-secure-wan-cisco-sd-wan-innovations-fyyh2j2uf) · Cisco · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Deep Dive: Automating NetOps with the cisco.catalystcenter Ansible Collection](https://daily.dev/posts/deep-dive-automating-netops-with-the-cisco-catalystcenter-ansible-collection-2bstaaosj) · Cisco · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#networking](https://daily.dev/tags/networking), [#ansible](https://daily.dev/tags/ansible) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/automating-netlab-based-cisco-sd-wan-deployment-ipspace-net-blog-vgblvud22) ```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":"Automating netlab-Based Cisco SD-WAN Deployment « ipSpace.net blog","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/automating-netlab-based-cisco-sd-wan-deployment-ipspace-net-blog-vgblvud22","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/automating-netlab-based-cisco-sd-wan-deployment-ipspace-net-blog-vgblvud22"},"datePublished":"2026-08-11T08:52:20.937Z","dateModified":"2026-08-11T09:00:11.607Z","description":"Sebastien d'Argoeuves has published an open-source GitHub project that automates Cisco SD-WAN deployment on top of netlab labs.
