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• DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md - Outdated deployment notes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
