hybridops.network

Linux WAN simulation and validation roles for lab and brownfield environments.

This collection is intentionally narrow. The primary WAN and site-extension path uses VyOS-backed roles and modules in hybridops.common and hybridops-core. hybridops.network is useful for:

• three-node WAN simulation
• lab and workshop exercises
• brownfield Linux strongSwan/FRR estates that are not yet on the VyOS path

Public docs live at https://docs.hybridops.tech. The main website is https://hybridops.tech.

Roles

Role	Purpose
wan_edge	Configure a Linux WAN node with strongSwan, VTI interfaces, and FRR eBGP.
wan_validate	Validate WAN convergence across IPsec, BGP, routes, and end-to-end reachability.

Installation

Install from Ansible Galaxy:

ansible-galaxy collection install hybridops.network

Pin from a collections/requirements.yml file:

collections:
  - name: hybridops.network
    version: ">=0.1.0"

Testing

Run role tests with HybridOps:

hyops test role hybridops.network.wan_edge \
  --env quickTest \
  --workspace-root /path/to/hybridops-collections-src/collections/dev/workspace \
  --inventory-file /path/to/ansible-collection-network/roles/wan_edge/tests/inventories/wansim/hosts.ini

To stand up the three-VM WAN simulator first:

hyops apply --env quickTest \
  --module platform/onprem/platform-vm \
  --state-instance wan_sim_vms \
  --inputs roles/wan_edge/tests/fixtures/wan_sim_vms.quicktest.inputs.yml

That fixture provisions:

• edge-sim on 10.10.0.132 with WAN underlay 10.50.0.142
• gcp-sim on 10.10.0.151 with WAN underlay 10.50.0.149
• azure-sim on 10.10.0.181 with WAN underlay 10.50.0.132

wan_edge smoke includes wan_validate, so the full role test proves both configuration and convergence.

Scope boundary

This collection covers Linux-based WAN simulation and brownfield paths. For the HybridOps WAN stack, use the VyOS roles and modules from hybridops.common and hybridops-core.
