# Catalyst SD-WAN Lab Deployment Tool for Cisco Modeling Labs
This tool automates [Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN](https://www.cisco.com/site/us/en/solutions/networking/sdwan/index.html) lab deployment inside [Cisco Modeling Labs (CML)](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/cloud-systems-management/modeling-labs/index.html).
## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
Catalyst SD-WAN Lab tool requires Python 3.8 or newer. This can be verified by pasting the following to a terminal window:
% python3 -c "import sys;assert sys.version_info>(3,8)" && echo "ALL GOOD"
If 'ALL GOOD' is printed it means Python requirements are met. If not, download and install the latest 3.x version at Python.org (https://www.python.org/downloads/).
All the Python prerequisites are automaticaly installed when you install the package. Please refer to the [Installing](#installing) section for details.
This tool requires CML 2.6 or higher.
### Installing
The recommended way to install is via pip.
Create a directory to store the virtual environment and runtime files:
mkdir csdwan
cd csdwan
Create virtual environment:
python3 -m venv venv
Activate virtual environment:
source venv/bin/activate
- Note that the prompt is updated with the virtual environment name (venv), indicating that the virtual environment is active.
Upgrade initial virtual environment packages:
pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
To install SD-WAN Lab Deployment Tool:
pip install --upgrade catalyst-sdwan-lab
Verify that SD-WAN Lab tool can run:
sdwan-lab --version
You can also use the following shortcut to run any lab task:
csdwan --version
Notes:
- The virtual environment is deactivated by typing 'deactivate' at the command prompt.
- Before running SD-WAN Lab again, make sure to activate the virtual environment back again (source venv/bin/activate).
## Usage
Simmilar to [Sastre](https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/sastre), the command line is structured as a set of base parameters, the task specification followed by task-specific parameters:
sdwan-lab <base parameters> <task> <task-specific parameters>
Base parameters define global options such as verbosity level, CML credentials, etc.
Task indicates the operation to be performed. The following tasks are currently available:
* [Setup](#setup-task): Setup CML to support Catalyst SD-WAN use cases, upload new software images, and create node and image definitions that are required to run Catalyst SD-WAN lab in the CML.
* [Deploy](#deploy-task): Deploy CML topology with two underlay networks (INET, MPLS), one Manager/Validator/Controller, and one Gateway router. Once topology boots up, configure the control components and create basic templates / configuration groups.
* [Add](#add-task): Add and automatically onboard additional SD-WAN nodes (Validators/Controllers/Edges) to existing lab.
* [Backup](#backup-task): Backup the Catalyst SD-WAN Lab runnning in CML, including the CML topology and all its nodes, SD-WAN device states and templates / configuration groups.
* [Restore](#restore-task): Restore the Catalyst SD-WAN Lab from backup, onboard and confgure control components and create basic feature templates / configuration groups. If there are any WAN Edges, automatically onboard the WAN Edges back to the SD-WAN Manager using the configuration from the backup.
* [Delete](#delete-task): Delete currently running lab from CML and remove all lab data.
Task-specific parameters are provided after the task argument.

### Task-specific Parameters
Task-specific parameters and options are defined after the task is provided. Each task has its own set of parameters. Check the task documentation to learn more about task-specific parameters.
### Setup Task
This task makes sure your CML is ready to run Catalyst SD-WAN labs. The task will:
* Create node definitions that are required to run Catalyst SD-WAN lab in the CML: Manager, Validator, Controller and Edge
* Look for new SD-WAN software images in the folder where the script was run. If the image is found, upload the image to CML and create image definition for the right node definition: Manager, Validator, Controller and Edge
On each CML server that you want to use, you should run a setup task at least once to create required node and image definitions. You can rerun the setup task each time you want to add a new Catalyst SD-WAN software image to your CML server.
This task have one task-specific argument that allows you to migrate the node and image definitions to new format if you've used SD-WAN Lab 1.x in the past.
sdwan-lab setup -h
usage: sdwan-lab.py setup [-h] [--migrate]
optional arguments:

If neither is provided user is prompted for SD-WAN Manager password.\n --lab <lab_name> CML Lab name, can also be defined via LAB_NAME environment variable. If neither is provided user is prompted for lab name.\n\nBelow you will find few examples of add task:\n\n sdwan-lab add 1 validator 20.9.4 --lab sdwan1\n sdwan-lab add 2 controllers 20.12.2 --lab sdwan2\n sdwan-lab add 5 edges 17.09.03a --lab vsdwan1\n sdwan-lab add 2 sdrouting 17.12.2 --lab vsdwan1\n\n### Backup Task\nThis task creates a backup of the Catalyst SD-WAN lab running in CML. CML doesn't natively support configuration export from Catalyst SD-WAN nodes, but this script can help you to save your Catalyst SD-WAN configuration. This task will:\n1. For Manager, Validator, Controller and WAN Edge nodes (SD-WAN and SD-Routing), create configuration backup.\n2. For non-SD-WAN nodes, export the configuration if it's supported by CML.\n3. Save the CML topology with exported configuration.\n4. Create a backup of SD-WAN Manager templates, policies and configuration groups using [Sastre](https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/sastre).\n\nThis task has several task-specific parameters, including working directory where backup is saved.\n\n % sdwan-lab back -h \n usage: sdwan-lab.py backup [-h] [--manager <manager-ip>] [--muser <manager-user>] [--mpassword <manager-password>] [--lab <lab_name>] [--workdir <directory>]\n \n optional arguments:\n -h, --help show this help message and exit\n --manager <manager-ip>\n SD-WAN Manager IP address, can also be defined via MANAGER_IP environment variable. If neither is provided user is prompted for SD-WAN Manager IP.\n --muser <manager-user>\n SD-WAN Manager username, can also be defined via MANAGER_USER environment variable. If neither is provided user is prompted for SD-WAN Manager username.\n --mpassword <manager-password>\n SD-WAN Manager password, can also be defined via MANAGER_PASSWORD environment variable. If neither is provided user is prompted for SD-WAN Manager password.\n --lab <lab_name> CML Lab name, can also be defined via LAB_NAME environment variable. If neither is provided user is prompted for lab name.\n --workdir <directory>\n Backup destination folder\n \n### Restore Task\nThis task restores Catalyst SD-WAN lab from a backup. This task will:\n1. Import the CML topology from the backup and boot the Catalyst SD-WAN control components first.\n2. Once control components are up, configure the control plane (control components, certificates, etc.).\n3. Restore SD-WAN Manager templates, policies and configuration groups using [Sastre](https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/sastre).\n4. Verify if there are any WAN Edges in the topology (SD-WAN and SD-Routing). If yes, then generate the new OTP and automatically reonboard them to SD-WAN Manager.\n\nThis task has several task-specific parameters, including working directory from where backup is restored.\n\n % sdwan-lab restore -h\n usage: sdwan-lab.py restore [-h] [--manager <manager-ip>] [--mmask <manager-mask>] [--mgateway <manager-gateway>] [--muser <manager-user>] [--mpassword <manager-password>] [--lab <lab_name>]\n [--workdir <directory>] [--deleteexisting] [--retry]\n \n optional arguments:\n -h, --help show this help message and exit\n --manager <manager-ip>\n SD-WAN Manager IP address, can also be defined via MANAGER_IP environment variable. If neither is provided user is prompted for SD-WAN Manager IP.\n --mmask <manager-mask>\n Subnet mask for given SD-WAN Manager IP (e.g. /24), can also be defined via MANAGER_MASK environment variable. If neither is provided user is prompted for SD-WAN Manager subnet mask.\n --mgateway <manager-gateway>\n Gateway IP for given SD-WAN Manager IP, can also be defined via MANAGER_GATEWAY environment variable. If neither is provided user is prompted for Manager gateway IP.\n --muser <manager-user>\n SD-WAN Manager username, can also be defined via MANAGER_USER environment variable. If neither is provided user is prompted for SD-WAN Manager username.\n --mpassword <manager-password>\n SD-WAN Manager password, can also be defined via MANAGER_PASSWORD environment variable. If neither is provided user is prompted for SD-WAN Manager password.\n --lab <lab_name> CML Lab name, can also be defined via LAB_NAME environment variable. If neither is provided user is prompted for lab name.\n --workdir <directory>\n Restore source folder\n --deleteexisting If there is already lab running with same name and using same SD-WAN Manager IP, delete this lab before restoring. Note the all running lab data will be lost!\n --retry If for some reason your script lost connectivity during SD-WAN Manager boot, you can add --retry to continue restoring the lab that is already in CML\n\n### Delete Task\nThis task deletes the CML lab and removes all it's data. Note after this operation, all lab data is lost.\n\nThis task has several task-specific parameters.\n\n sdwan-lab delete -h\n usage: sdwan-lab.py delete [-h] [--lab <lab_name>] [--force]\n \n optional arguments:\n -h, --help show this help message and exit\n --lab <lab_name> Lab name\n --force Delete the lab without asking for confirmation. Note the all lab data will be lost!\n\n## Authors\nTomasz Zarski (tzarski@cisco.com)\n\n## License\n\nBSD-3-Clause\n\n## Acknowledgments\n- Marcelo Reis and [Sastre](https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/sastre)\n- Inigo Alonso\n",
