feat(swap): import .md files and webp transition from myst/current
Selective import from origin/myst/current (cf9c9b34):
- Add/update 255 .md files (full MyST conversion plus webp ref updates)
- Delete 175 PNG/JPG from docs/_static/images (webp twins already present)
- Delete 5 autotest topology.png (webp twins already present)
Preserved on swap (untouched):
- All .rst files (incremental swap pattern)
- conf.py, _ext/, _include/*.txt, .gitignore
- 115 canary md-*.md files
- 7 superpowers/specs/*.md design docs
- Logos vyos-logo.png / vyos-logo-icon.png (referenced by conf.py)

Each PoP aggregates at least two +customers. + +I named the customers blue, red and green which is common practice in +VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) documentation scenarios. + +- PE1 is located in an industrial area that holds multiple office buildings. + All customers have a site in this area. +- PE2 is located in a smaller area where by coincidence two customers + (blue and red) share an office building. +- PE3 is located in a smaller area where by coincidence two customers + (blue and green) are located. + +## Management VRF + +A brief excursion into VRFs: This has been one of the longest-standing feature +requests of VyOS (dating back to 2016) which can be described as +"a VLAN for layer 2 is what a VRF is for layer 3". +With VRFs, a router/system can hold multiple, isolated routing tables on the +same system. If you wonder what's the difference between multiple tables that +people used for policy-based routing since forever, it's that a VRF also +isolates connected routes rather than just static and dynamically learned +routes, so it allows NICs in different VRFs to use conflicting network +ranges without issues. + +VyOS 1.3 added initial support for VRFs (including IPv4/IPv6 static routing) +and VyOS 1.4 now enables full dynamic routing protocol support for +OSPF, IS-IS, and BGP for individual VRFs. + +The lab I built is using a VRF (called **mgmt**) to provide out-of-band +SSH access to the PE (Provider Edge) routers. + +```{literalinclude} _include/PE1.conf +:language: none +:lines: 1-6 +``` + + +## Topology + +We use the following network topology in this example: + +```{image} _include/topology.webp +:alt: L3VPN EVPN with VyOS topology image +``` + + +## Core network + +I chose to run OSPF as the IGP (Interior Gateway Protocol). +All required BGP sessions are established via a dummy interfaces +(similar to the loopback, but in Linux you can have only one loopback, +while there can be many dummy interfaces) on the PE routers. In case of a link +failure, traffic is diverted in the other direction in this triangle setup and +BGP sessions will not go down. One could even enable +BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection) on the links for a faster +failover and resilience in the network. + +Regular VyOS users will notice that the BGP syntax has changed in VyOS 1.4 from +even the prior post about this subject. This is due to T1711, where it was +finally decided to get rid of the redundant BGP ASN (Autonomous System Number) +specification on the CLI and move it to a single leaf node +(set protocols bgp local-as). + +It's important to note that all your existing configurations will be migrated +automatically on image upgrade.

In our example, +we do not use overlapping ranges to make it easier when showing debug commands. + +Thus you can easily match it to one of the devices/networks below. + +Every router that provides access to a customer network needs to have the +customer network (VRF + VNI) configured.
