Teach networking the way it is really learned.

Prepare

Start from a Guided Lab. Make it yours.

Guided Labs ship with a known-good topology, day-0 configs, and a markdown guide. Change any of it, then publish your version as the default for that starter on your appliance. Restore factory whenever you want the original back.

Assess

See who is stuck before they ask.

Classroom questions

Which features need Enterprise?

Class timers, the instructor dashboard, grading, PDF reports, Proctor, and LDAP, SSO, and RADIUS. Lab sharing and Guided Labs work on both editions.

How many students can use one appliance?

Enterprise has no user, lab, or node caps; your hardware sets the practical limit. Home shows a Launch Budget so you can size a session before it starts.

Can students sign in with our directory?

Enterprise includes LDAP and RADIUS settings. SAML and OIDC settings are present, and sign-in shows a clear unavailable message until identity-provider integration is completed.

Do students need their own vendor images?

No. Images are imported once on the appliance. FRRouting and Alpine are included, so many courses need no vendor images at all.

Enterprise removes every cap and adds the tools instructors need. Install it on your institution’s own hardware.
