[ixpmanager] Question

[Barry O'Donovan (INEX)]

Hi,

there's no issue setting up in a lab environment without registering in 
PeeringDB and/or IX-F. In fact neither would accept a lab environment.

You'll want to use private ASNs (e.g. 64512 - 65534 - see rfc6996) for 
route servers and any virtual members you create and private IP space 
(e.g. rfc1918) for the peering lan and members.

A good while back I used a Docker environment for testing stuff - see:

https://docs.ixpmanager.org/dev/docker/

But I haven't used this in a number of years so it won't work out of the 
box. The configs may be useful though:
