Building a Dell OS10 Vagrant Libvirt Box¶

Dell OS10 is supported by the netlab libvirt package command.

Warning

Dell provides the OS10 Virtual image as a ZIP archive .vmdk and .gns3a files. netlab libvirt package converts these files into a Vagrant box.
If you’re using a ‌netlab release older than 1.8.2, or if you’re using a Linux distribution other than Ubuntu, please read the box-building caveats first.

Download the OS10 ZIP archive into an empty directory
Unzip the archive with the unzip zip-file-name command
Execute netlab libvirt package dellos10 OS10-Disk-1.0.0.vmdk[1] and follow the instructions

Tip

The box-building process creates a Vagrant box based on the S5224F platform. If you’d like to work with a different switch model, you’ll have to fix the installation script; if you make the platform selection configurable, please submit a Pull Request.

Initial Device Configuration¶

You’ll have to copy-paste the initial device configuration during the box-building process. netlab libvirt config dellos10 command displays the build recipe:
