Routing Protocols

Set routing on pt_plan_topology / pt_full_build. Valid values: static, ospf, eigrp, rip, none.

Static (default)

Bidirectional static routes are generated between LANs over the WAN links.

R1:  ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.2
R2:  ip route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.1
  • floating_routes=True (with routing=static) adds backup routes with administrative distance 254 over alternate paths (needs a topology with multiple paths).

OSPF

  • ospf_process_id (default 1).
  • Networks advertised per interface; single-area by default.

EIGRP

  • eigrp_as — autonomous-system number (default 100).

RIP

  • RIPv2 with the relevant networks advertised.

None

  • routing=none builds the topology and addressing but configures no routing protocol — useful for pure L2 labs or when you'll add routing yourself.

Validate before deploying

Run pt_validate_plan to catch unreachable networks or missing links before pushing routing config to live devices.
