Create Vagrant Boxes for Libvirt/KVM Environment

Vagrant starts virtual machines from prepackaged VM images called boxes. While it’s possible to download some network device images from Vagrant Cloud, you’ll have to build most of the boxes you’d want to use in your lab.

You have to use the following box names when installing or building the Vagrant boxes (see supported platforms and netlab show images for more details):

Virtual network device	Vagrant box name
Arista vEOS	arista/veos
Cisco IOSv	cisco/iosv
Cisco CRS 1000v	cisco/csr1000v
Cisco Nexus 9300v	cisco/nexus9300v
Fortinet FortiOS	fortinet/fortios
Juniper vSRX 3.0	juniper/vsrx3
VyOS	vyos/vyos
Mikrotik CHR RouterOS	mikrotik/chr
Dell OS10	dell/os10

The following Vagrant boxes are automatically downloaded from Vagrant Cloud when you’re using them for the first time in your lab topology:

Virtual network device	Vagrant box name
Cumulus VX	CumulusCommunity/cumulus-vx:4.4.0
Cumulus VX 5.0 (NVUE)	CumulusCommunity/cumulus-vx:5.0.1
Generic Linux	generic/ubuntu2004
