Join the SONiC community at NANOG 97 for an interactive hands-on workshop exploring how to design and configure a data center leaf-spine fabric using community SONiC.

SONiC is an open source Network Operating System (NOS) widely adopted across hyperscale, cloud, and enterprise networks. In this workshop, participants will be introduced to SONiC architecture and guided through a step-by-step implementation of a leaf-spine topology.

Each participant will be provided with a dedicated, independent lab environment to complete hands-on exercises using Containerlab and community SONiC. The session is designed to provide practical, real-world experience working directly with SONiC in a structured learning environment.

Key topics covered include SONiC architecture and core components, setting up Containerlab to run SONiC nodes, working with SONiC management interfaces, and configuring networking functions using SONiC and FRR CLI, including BGP and EVPN.

This workshop is hosted by the SONiC Foundation with support from SONiC member Nokia.
