The lab requires extending VLANs into end-to-end MAC-VRF instances and adding IRB and anycast gateways. It can be run on a netlab-enabled infrastructure, a free GitHub Codespace, or an Apple-silicon Mac using Arista cEOS containers. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I run an EVPN VXLAN lab on Apple Silicon Mac using Arista cEOS? EVPN VXLAN labs can be run on Apple-silicon Macs using the netlab framework with an Arista cEOS ARM container. Setup involves installing netlab on the Mac, pulling the Arista cEOS ARM image, and configuring the lab defaults for VXLAN/EVPN scenarios. Labs can alternatively be run in a free GitHub Codespace without any local hardware requirements. _Engineers setting up EVPN labs on Apple Silicon track tools and setup guides like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [EVPN with SR-MPLS Core « ipSpace.net blog](https://daily.dev/posts/evpn-with-sr-mpls-core-ipspace-net-blog-taobtibzc) · ipSpace.net Blog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/lab-evpn-asymmetric-irb-with-anycast-gateways-ipspace-net-blog-jwnnygzsw) ```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":"Lab: EVPN Asymmetric IRB with Anycast Gateways « ipSpace.net blog","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/lab-evpn-asymmetric-irb-with-anycast-gateways-ipspace-net-blog-jwnnygzsw","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/lab-evpn-asymmetric-irb-with-anycast-gateways-ipspace-net-blog-jwnnygzsw"},"datePublished":"2026-08-11T08:54:13.558Z","dateModified":"2026-08-11T09:08:38.706Z","description":"A hands-on lab exercise for exploring EVPN Asymmetric IRB with Anycast Gateways, focusing on ARP issues that arise in this configuration.
