Want to practice BGP, MPLS, or firewalls without risking your day job?
Tried EVE-NG (Community) on a dedicated Ubuntu server.
Physical labs are expensive, loud, and heavy. GNS3 is great but can be finicky with certain topologies.
It’s the gold standard for network emulation. Unlike basic simulators, EVE-NG runs REAL vendor images (Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Palo Alto, etc.).
If you’re in networking, install EVE-NG this weekend. Your certs and your production network will thank you. Option 4: Reddit-style / r/homelab or r/networking
