How To: Simulate multiple routers on a single SRX100 to lab test OSPF or ISIS

By Loup2 posted 04-26-2016 09:31

  

Overview

Use routing instances to simulate two routers on a single SRX100 device to provide a lab environment to test routing protocols.

 

Description


Here is a sample configuration used to simulate two routers on a single SRX100.

Notes on this configuration:

 

 

  • The virtual topology drawing below is also  inside the configuration so you can easily see your "testbed".
  • Ports fe-0/0/0 and fe-0/0/1 have to be externally looped (connected together) as shown in the image above.
  • Two "virtual routers" routing instances named R1 and R2 are interconnected.
  • OSPF and ISIS protocols are configured and announcing loopback routes.
  • SRX is configured in packet mode so it is used like a router and is not doing any flow inspection.

Notes

If you have a look at routing instances RB1, RB2, and RB3 connected via ports fe-0/0/2 and fe-0/0/3, there are three more routers running IBGP and eBGP to check how next-hop self option works.

 

Post any questions in the comments if you need some help on this simple way to do some labs.
