The project requires Jinja2 templates for each supported network device to translate netsim-tools data into device configurations. Currently, only a subset of supported platforms have full coverage. Specific gaps include VLAN support for CSR 1000v, Nexus OS, Junos, and Cumulus Linux; MPLS LDP and BGP-LU support for most platforms; VRF support for old-style Cumulus Linux and Junos; and OSPFv3 support on Nexus OS and Cumulus Linux. Contributors can follow the Contributor Guidelines, open a GitHub issue to claim work, and submit a pull request. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
