The lab highlights netlab's ability to automate IP addressing, Vagrant configuration, Ansible inventory, and device configuration (interfaces, IS-IS, BGP) across many platforms. The only custom work required was a short Jinja2 template to enable MPLS and RSVP TE on Junos vSRX routers. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What does netlab automate when setting up a Junos MPLS lab? netlab handles IP addressing, Vagrant configuration file generation, and Ansible inventory automatically. It also configures interfaces, IP addresses, IS-IS, and BGP across over a dozen platforms including Junos. For RSVP TE on Junos, the only manual work needed is a short Jinja2 template covering MTU increase, enabling MPLS, and enabling MPLS TE. _Network engineers automating Junos labs track tools like netlab 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 - [MPLS/VPN with SR-MPLS Core « ipSpace.net blog](https://daily.dev/posts/mpls-vpn-with-sr-mpls-core-ipspace-net-blog-nw3uwiphe) · 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: [#networking](https://daily.dev/tags/networking) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/sample-lab-rsvp-te-on-junos-ipspace-net-blog-vzeeipsnk) ```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":"Sample Lab: RSVP TE on Junos « ipSpace.net blog","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/sample-lab-rsvp-te-on-junos-ipspace-net-blog-vzeeipsnk","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/sample-lab-rsvp-te-on-junos-ipspace-net-blog-vzeeipsnk"},"datePublished":"2026-08-11T08:54:15.574Z","dateModified":"2026-08-11T08:59:39.004Z","description":"Pete Crocker built a 13-router lab using netlab to demonstrate RSVP TE transporting IP traffic between external autonomous systems on Junos.
