Summary

Post-merge cleanup to streamline the repository by removing unnecessary files and updating documentation.

Status: ✅ Complete - Ready for Merge

All cleanup changes have been committed and validated. Lab redeployment confirmed working.

Changes Made

Files Removed ✅

  • scripts/deploy.sh - Containerlab commands are simple enough to run directly
  • scripts/test-connectivity.sh - Testing procedures documented in END_TO_END_TESTING.md
  • scripts/cleanup.sh - containerlab destroy --cleanup is sufficient
  • BRANCH_SUMMARY.md - Historical branch notes no longer needed
  • BUGFIX_EVPN_ACTIVATION.md - Historical bug documentation
  • DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md - Outdated deployment notes
  • FIXES_APPLIED.md - Historical tracking document
  • TESTING_CHECKLIST.md - Redundant with END_TO_END_TESTING.md
  • VLAN_TAGGING_FIX_EXPLANATION.md - Historical fix notes
  • docs/ folder (4 files) - Redundant documentation consolidated into main files

Files Updated ✅

  • hosts/README.md - Fixed broken links to non-existent docs (now points to actual files)
  • README.md - Updated repository structure section to reflect actual contents

Files Kept ✅

Core Lab Files

  • evpn-lab.clab.yml - ContainerLab topology (the heart of the lab!)
  • configs/*.cfg - All 10 switch configurations (spine1, spine2, leaf1-8)

Documentation

  • README.md - Main project documentation
  • TROUBLESHOOTING.md - Troubleshooting guide
  • END_TO_END_TESTING.md - Testing procedures

Host Configuration

  • hosts/README.md - Host interface configuration guide
  • hosts/host1_interfaces through hosts/host4_interfaces

Validation Checklist

  • Create cleanup branch from main
  • Remove scripts/ folder contents
  • Remove redundant markdown files (6 root-level files)
  • Remove docs/ folder (4 files)
  • Update hosts/README.md - fix broken links
  • Update README.md - fix repository structure section
  • Redeploy lab and validate everything works
  • Create PR for review
  • Merge to main

Initial Investigation Complete ✅

Branch Created

  • cleanup/repo-housekeeping created from main

Files Found to Remove

Scripts folder (scripts/):

  • scripts/deploy.sh - Lab deployment script (not used, containerlab commands are simple enough)
  • scripts/test-connectivity.sh - Connectivity tests (we have END_TO_END_TESTING.md with commands)
  • scripts/cleanup.sh - Cleanup script (not needed, containerlab destroy is sufficient)

Files to Keep

  • README.md - Main documentation ✅
  • TROUBLESHOOTING.md - Excellent troubleshooting guide ✅
  • END_TO_END_TESTING.md - Testing procedures ✅
  • hosts/README.md - Host config reference ✅
  • evpn-lab.clab.yml - Topology file ✅
  • configs/*.cfg - Switch configs ✅
  • hosts/host*_interfaces - Host interfaces ✅

Documentation Fix Needed

The hosts/README.md references non-existent files:

  • ../docs/HOST_INTERFACE_CONFIGURATION.md ❌ doesn't exist
  • ../DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md ❌ doesn't exist

These broken links should be fixed or removed.

README.md Update Needed

The repository structure section in README.md shows a docs/ folder and scripts/ folder that will no longer exist after cleanup.

Next Steps

  1. Delete scripts/deploy.sh
  2. Delete scripts/test-connectivity.sh
  3. Delete scripts/cleanup.sh
  4. Update hosts/README.md to remove broken links
  5. Update README.md repository structure section
