All posted on Github versions of VOSS VM are “equipped” with very limited data plane only, so matter which release you choose. Nontheless 8.3 makes a pretty nice step forward by supporting Auto-sense port feature and Zero Touch fabric (ZTF), so i would recommend to give it a try.
Here is my GNS3project file, which as 5 VSP (8.3) and 5 EXOS VMs plus vFAD (little tool from tornaborate.com , that uses OVS for fabric attach signalling, so you get in fact a complete simulated Campus fabric with FA Clients (vFAD), FA Proxies (EXOS) and FA Servers/BEBs (VSP)..
ZTF works fine, except for nick-name assignement, which would required the FAN ISID (16777001) to work (data plane). But after all - you now click all your nodes together, configure one as “seed” with SPBM and all other nodes will join automatically (when VMs are still clean - no config.cfg file).. you ony have to add the nick-name and you are done.
Same with Fabric attach to EXOS VMs .. all automatically, even sensing, if neighbor has FA authentication enabled or not (off on EXOS per default).
