Hey, Forward Community Members!

We're thrilled to invite you to submit your ideas for network configurations you’d like to see analyzed within our Net3 lab network. Whether it's testing new scenarios, troubleshooting common issues, or exploring unique configurations, we want to know what network setups you’re interested in. Example lab scenarios include:

  • Layer 2 
    • Host-to-Host communication in VXLAN EVPN  fabric based on  Arista
    • STP/RSTP Layer2 pods built  with Cisco or  Arista switches
  • Layer 3
    • MPBGP with VXLAN EVPN forwarding (Arista vEOS)
    • IPv6/IPv4 Dual stack forwarding using routers/switches by Cisco and Arista, as well as Palo Alto firewalls
  • SD-WAN
    • Viptela/Catalyst SD-WAN
  • As well as other configurations including
    • Network Services - Load-balancer single-arm (SNAT/DNAT): A10
    • And many others! 

What network configuration would you like to see?

 

Our Net3 lab network is constantly expanding with a diverse set of devices, offering a robust environment for analysis and experimentation. Here’s a look at some of the current devices configurations available in the lab:

  • Arista vEOS: L2, L3, VXLAN EVPN
  • Cisco IOS/IOSXE: L2, L3, Interas Option A/VRFLite
  • Palo Alto NGFW: With appid, userid policies
  • WiFi: Cisco 9800CL, featuring PSK and 802.1x enabled SSIDs
  • VMWare NSX-T
  • Juniper JUNOS: with BMP-based collection
  • Layer3 MPLS VPN
  • Cisco Catalyst SDWAN (ex Viptela)
  • And this list keeps growing!
