Netbox Exporter

Netbox Exporter is an Ansible collection that bridges the source of truth (Netbox) and Arista Validation Deploy (AVD).
It enables the creation of a dedicated VXLAN-EVPN Ethernet RoCE v2 fabric for supercomputers.
With Netbox Exporter, you can generate the full Ansible inventory for AVD. Currently, only homogeneous factories are supported (same leaves, same spines).

  • Deployment of simple L2VPNs of type VXLAN.
  • Deployment of L2VPNs with dedicated VRF.
