This is extremely useful for using the 'lab card' strategy that I will be putting forth in a future post. On my computer with CSR1000v routers, it takes only a few seconds to switch between initial configurations of any of the ATC labs. The same can be said about the Secure_CRT-AutoConfig python script - it should work to more easily set up the configurations with pretty much any setup of the INE topology with little or no modification. This post shows how to build one with EVE-NG but the configs will work with pretty much any setup of the INE topology. NOTE: Feel free to use these configs with your own topology. It should continue to work if you shut the topology down/restart your computer, and then reboot the topology. I started out with some SuperPuttY scripts that automatically did it each time, but it was a less-than-perfect solution.īottom line: Properly followed, this guide will allow you to send 'config replace flash:config/.cfg force' to all devices, and immediately configure all devices for the appropriate lab. I used VIRL for the first few months, but it was annoying to have to load the configurations for each of the labs into the routers each time I loaded the topology. After messing around with a bunch of different options, I have found this to be the best setup for using the INE ATC topology for studying for my CCIE. OK, so this is probably going to be a pretty long post.

I will include a link in the file section to a package of PowerShell scripts that I ended up making while working with all these (2,000+) config files. Please let me know if you have any troubles.

If you downloaded it before and some of the labs are 'invalid' when you try to load them, please try downloading the newest version. I have updated the config file link accordingly. As I have been going through these myself, I have found that a bunch of these configs were not working properly (pretty much all the IPv6 labs + switch labs + some misc labs).
