# NexusSec vLabs — https://nxsvl.com

> Browser-based training on real enterprise networking and security equipment.
> Not a simulator: every lab runs genuine vendor firmware on hardware racked in
> Navi Mumbai, India, reached over the network from a browser tab.

Operated by NexusSec Labs. The lab platform is EVE-NG; the customer portal at
nxsvl.com handles accounts, lab delivery, bookings, exams and certificates.

## What it is

- Remote, reserved access to real Cisco, Fortinet, Sophos, Palo Alto and
  MikroTik equipment — the same class of kit NexusSec Labs supplies as
  refurbished hardware.
- Everything runs in the browser over HTML5. No client software, no VPN
  required for the standard path, nothing installed on your own machine.
- Configurations persist for the length of your access. Reset to a clean start
  whenever you want.

## Exams and certificates

Exam labs are timed and graded, and are **assigned by an instructor** rather
than self-served — an exam topology is delivered to a candidate's folder only
for the duration of their attempt. Passing produces a certificate with a unique
ID that anyone can check at https://verify.nxsvl.com — no login required.

## Who uses it

Certification candidates (CCNA, CCNP, NSE, PCNSA, PCNSE, MTCNA); network and
security teams validating a design or rehearsing a cutover before touching
production; training providers needing multi-vendor equipment without buying it.
