What you get
- 23 live Cisco labs, each 60–90 minutes on 3–6 nodes.
- Real firmware, not a simulator. Genuine Cisco equipment racked in Navi Mumbai.
- Nothing to install. The topology and every console run in your browser over HTML5.
- Aimed at CCNA 200-301, CCNP ENCOR and ENARSI — and at the work those certifications describe.
- 6 free on the demo. 48 hours, no card, no install.
Free on the 48-hour demo
Choose Cisco on the demo request form — you pick two platforms — and these open immediately:
- Static Routing — Configure static and default routes so hosts on separate networks can reach each other — the first thing every CCNA candidate must get right.
- OSPF Single Area — Bring up OSPF in a single area, form neighbour adjacencies and watch routes propagate — the most-asked-for routing lab on the platform.
- VLANs and Trunking — Create VLANs, carry them across 802.1Q trunks between switches, and prove the segmentation with connectivity tests.
- Inter-VLAN Routing — Route between VLANs with router-on-a-stick and an SVI, so segmented networks can still talk when they should.
- ACLs — Standard — Write and place standard access control lists to permit and deny traffic by source — the foundation of Cisco filtering.
- NAT and PAT — Translate private addresses to public with static NAT and PAT (overload), the way every edge router on the internet does.

- VLANs and Trunking Fundamentals
Two switches carrying two VLANs over a trunk. Hosts in the same VLAN must reach each other across both switches; hosts in different VLANs must not.6 nodes · 45 min - VLANs and Trunking
Two IOSv-L2 switches joined by an 802.1Q trunk carrying VLAN 10 and VLAN 20. Same-VLAN hosts must reach each other across both switches; different VLANs must not.6 nodes · 90 min - Static Routing
Configure static and default routes so hosts on separate networks can reach each other — the first thing every CCNA candidate must get right.3 nodes · 45 min· free on demo - VLAN Segmentation Showcase
Fully pre-configured switching demo: same-VLAN traffic crosses the trunk, cross-VLAN traffic is isolated. The simplest 'aha moment' in networking.5 nodes · 90 min - Spanning Tree
Three IOSv-L2 switches cabled in a physical loop. Configure Rapid-PVST, force a specific root bridge, and confirm one link goes to blocking so the loop is broken while hosts stay reachable.5 nodes · 90 min - OSPF Single Area
Bring up OSPF in a single area, form neighbour adjacencies and watch routes propagate — the most-asked-for routing lab on the platform.4 nodes · 60 min· free on demo - EtherChannel
Two IOSv-L2 switches with a two-link LACP EtherChannel between them. Bundle the links into a port-channel, trunk it, and confirm both member links are bundled and forwarding.4 nodes · 90 min - VLANs and Trunking
Create VLANs, carry them across 802.1Q trunks between switches, and prove the segmentation with connectivity tests.4 nodes · 60 min· free on demo - Inter-VLAN Routing
Router-on-a-stick. One IOSv router trunked to an IOSv-L2 switch carrying two VLANs. Configure 802.1Q sub-interfaces so the VLANs route between each other, and set the host default gateways.4 nodes · 90 min - Inter-VLAN Routing
Route between VLANs with router-on-a-stick and an SVI, so segmented networks can still talk when they should.4 nodes · 60 min· free on demo - ACLs — Standard
Write and place standard access control lists to permit and deny traffic by source — the foundation of Cisco filtering.4 nodes · 45 min· free on demo - NAT and PAT
Translate private addresses to public with static NAT and PAT (overload), the way every edge router on the internet does.4 nodes · 45 min· free on demo - Enterprise OSPF Live Failover
Fully pre-configured - just start all nodes and present. OSPF triangle with live failover: ping end-to-end, kill a link, watch OSPF reroute in seconds.5 nodes · 90 min - Static Routing
Three IOSv routers in a chain. Give every network a reachable path using only static routes, then prove end-to-end connectivity from PC1 to PC2.5 nodes · 90 min - OSPF Single Area
Three IOSv routers in a triangle. Bring up OSPF area 0 on every link so each router learns all networks dynamically, then verify PC1 can reach PC2.5 nodes · 90 min - EIGRP Routing
Three IOSv routers in a chain running EIGRP AS 100. Advertise every connected network, confirm neighbour adjacencies form and prove edge-to-edge reachability.5 nodes · 90 min - ACLs and NAT
An IOSv edge router between an inside LAN and a simulated ISP. Configure NAT overload for the inside network and an extended ACL that permits only the required outbound traffic. Prove the policy with pings.5 nodes · 90 min - InterVLAN Routing and DHCP
Route between VLAN 10/20/30 with router-on-a-stick subinterfaces, then serve each VLAN from a central DHCP pool.5 nodes · 60 min - EtherChannel and Port Security
Bundle two links into an LACP EtherChannel and watch it survive a cable pull, then lock access ports to known MACs and trigger a violation on purpose.5 nodes · 75 min
Professional · 2 labs
- OSPF Multi-Area Enterprise
Multi-area OSPF: Area 1 - ABR - Area 0 - ABR - Area 2 with summarization.4 nodes · 90 min - EIGRP and Route Redistribution
EIGRP AS100 and OSPF two-way redistribution with route-maps and tags on R3.4 nodes · 75 min
Expert · 2 labs
- BGP for the Enterprise Edge
Dual-homed eBGP edge: LOCAL_PREF outbound, AS-path prepend inbound, prefix-list filtering.5 nodes · 120 min - SD-WAN Dual-Transport Data Plane
SCAFFOLD - upload /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/ (vtedge - Viptela 18.4.x) to boot.6 nodes · 120 min
