Learn Nokia SR Linux
Nokia Service Router Linux (SR Linux) is a truly open, extensible and resilient network operating system (NOS) that makes your IP and data center networks more scalable, more flexible and simpler to operate.
Get started DocsWhat is Nokia SR Linux?
SR Linux is a network operating system that is open, extensible, visible and consumable. Designed for IP and data center networks, SR Linux offers to network operators a network operating system that is easy to automate, integrate and adapt to their specific requirements. All this while providing the same level of stability, scalability and reliability that Nokia SR OS is known for.
SR Linux opens the NOS infrastructure with a unique architecture built from the ground up around model-driven management and modern interfaces. This approach simplifies your operations and integrations while giving you the ultimate in visibility and flexibility.
Key features
Standard linux kernel
By using an unmodified Linux-based kernel as the foundation on which a suite of network applications is built, SR Linux provides reliability, portability and ease of application development.
Modular architecture
Designed from the ground up architecture that meets the demands of scalability, visibility and ease of operations.
Proven protocol stack
By using SR Linux, network operators benefit from the resilience, stability, scalability and proven interoperability of Nokia SR OS.
Streaming telemetry
SR Linux delivers an open and extensible infrastructure, which allows the retrieval of fine-grained system state, configuration setting, and a scalable interface to support more granular data with push-based streaming telemetry.
Customizable CLI
An advanced, Python-based CLI provides a flexible framework for accessing the system's underlying data models. Operators can leverage CLI plugins to completely customize the way the CLI operates.
Network Development Kit (NDK)
The NDK enables operators to integrate their own and third-party applications into the system with all the same benefits as Nokia applications.
Getting started with SR Linux
SR Linux packs a lot of unique features that networking teams can leverage. Some of the features being truly new to the networking domain. The goal of this portal is to demonstrate these features and make SR Linux familiar to every visitor.
We believe that learning by doing yields the best results. With that in mind we made SR Linux container image available to everybody without any registration or licensing.
The tutorials on this portal will be augmented with lab scenarios that anyone can spin locally at any time.
Open container image
Run SR Linux anywhere where Docker is installed. Free and easy.
Learn by doing
Get to the grips of SR Linux features by doing real labs built with SR Linux container image.
