@John_Capobianco Really awesome John, I've seen some really impressive interactions with Codex and CC to create some awesome things.

I wonder what the separator will be between what is good AI content and what is "slop" I still feel a bit weird with some of the low effort things pumped out.

[TheNetworkBerg @BergNetwork]

1) Look at vendor docs and use python script to build startup configs
2) Create topology in Containerlab with startup configs
3) Deploy topology and just see the solution come to life.

This is really cool!

[TheNetworkBerg @BergNetwork]

There's a code extension for containerlab in VS Code and it maps out our topology. Wow, I think I fell in love again with labbing!

[TheNetworkBerg @BergNetwork]

@phatdee1 I'm sure you can, here's a list of all the kind of devices I see support for

https://t.co/NwPuxgbacg

Palo Alto and Cisco are covered, I'll probably spin up some Juniper nodes in another lab.

[TheNetworkBerg @BergNetwork]

Oh looky looky, some statrtup configs with Containerlab and I can access all my nodes from Winbox :D

[TheNetworkBerg @BergNetwork]

@stubarea51 I thought I was being smart and upgraded the version of Linux underneath which blanked EVE-NG, I could reinstall the package but while fiddling around my host machine had a power issue and the VM somehow got corrupt. I also had no snapshot :( Clab is pretty neat though

[TheNetworkBerg @BergNetwork]

I've decided to try out Containerlab after a catastrophic disaster with my EVE-NG Pro VM. So far I think this is really solid! I've already got 2 MikroTik nodes talking and will build a proper lab to test things with but just seeing the nodes come online has made me happy!

[TheNetworkBerg @BergNetwork]

Took the day off and just been getting stuck in EVE-NG with ROSv7 stuff.

[TheNetworkBerg @BergNetwork]

MikroTik's latest build ROSv7.21 seems to be a top contender to be the largest change log ROS has received since v7's release. I think the next build is very container centric though so not sure if it'll be everyone's cup of tea but it is a beefy change.

[TheNetworkBerg @BergNetwork]

@AlbonyCal True the internet is massive and I know a few tech blogs that are great for information. But I can see in realtime massive places where most people engage with the internet like here/YT/Facebook/TikTok is flooded with either bots or AI content that drowns genuine ideas :/

[TheNetworkBerg @BergNetwork]

I used to think the internet was a vast extension of realspace, where we shared our ideas and creativity and once in a while an into something shocking... Now... The internet feels so curated. When I open YouTube I'm flooded with AI slop I see now the dead internet theory is real

[TheNetworkBerg @BergNetwork]

RouterOS v7.20 has finally released :D!

[TheNetworkBerg @BergNetwork]

That was fast, Juniper changed their channel name on YouTube from Juniper Networks to HPE Juniper Networking. Yes Yes I know they were bought over in the start of 2024 and that it recently became for real. Curious to see how this shapes things going forward though.

[TheNetworkBerg @BergNetwork]

@stubarea51 Yeah, it's awesome to see wish they did ESI-LAG themselves l! One cool thing I missed is the return of a route filter wizard which makes configuring filters similar to ROS6 again. Just happened to see it while being on the 7.20beta6 lab I am running.

[TheNetworkBerg @BergNetwork]

@Niclas78007 @mikrotik_com You could check with Scoop or Miro though I am not sure what they would charge for support if they did not sell the device to you.

[TheNetworkBerg @BergNetwork]

@DaryllSwer A massive problem I had was that with their MTCINE certification VPLS is a big portion of that and the fact that it doesn't work correctly as BGP Signalled with an RR on ROSv7 seemed very very wrong to me. And this has been a problem since 2020 when it came out.

[TheNetworkBerg @BergNetwork]

I'm fairly happy to see MikroTik has appeared to have fixed BGP signalled VPLS with route reflectors running ROSv7 it seems to have been implemented in v7.19.3, though my lab is running the latest test build on v7.20beta6

#MikroTik

[TheNetworkBerg @BergNetwork]

@DaryllSwer Yeah I can agree, if you are in the position to migrate or have a greenfield opportunity then getting something like OCNOS on an Edgecore/Ufispace makes sense.

[TheNetworkBerg @BergNetwork]

@DaryllSwer That's not really the point of the post, there is a common problem of networks still stuck on v6 to deploy L2 services using VPLS with MT because that's the hand they are dealt. It is a good thing that they can actually go over to v7 now and look at EVPN as it matures on ROS.
