Скачать или смотреть CCIE Service Provider Practice Lab Walkthrough | Build the Full Lab in EVE-NG

Build and run your own CCIE Service Provider lab — without needing 300GB of RAM.

In this video, I walk through Cisco’s public CCIE Service Provider practice lab topology and show you how to rebuild the entire thing using more efficient XRv (classic) images. You’ll get the full 29-device topology, working configs, and Ansible automation files — no NDA content, just raw, usable lab material.

🔧 What’s covered in this walkthrough:

Overview of the official Cisco CCIE SP practice lab (topology, protocols, features)

XRv9000 vs XRv Classic: what to downgrade to reduce resource usage

What works, what doesn’t in virtual environments (L2VPN, SRv6, EVPN)

Recommended images, versions, and hardware specs
