To have the self contained and easy to setup lab environment, I have created the Vagrant Box and setup labs around that. Each lab is consist of some theory, instructions and recording of the terminal, while running those instructions.

Requirement

• Download and setup VirtualBox 5.0

• Download and setup Vagrant

• Get the Vagrant file

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nkhare/data_and_network_containers/gh-pages/Vagrantfile

• Start the VMs

$ vagrant up

By detault Vagrant would start 2 VMs, as we need them in few labs. If you just want to start one VM, please set NUM_LABVMS environment variable to 1

export NUM_LABVMS=1

• Check the status of VMS vagrant status

$ vagrant status
Current machine states:

labvm-1                   running (virtualbox)
labvm-2                   running (virtualbox)
