This is an On-Demand Lab for VMware NSX-T. It provides the same lab experience as the one day NSX-T training class but without the slide content and on-site architect. This lab is not meant to teach operations, best practices or replace VMware's hands-on classes.

This lab is a continuation of the Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 1 to allow students to explore the basics of ACI Constructs, building an Application Profile, EPGs and Bridge domains, Policy Filters, and Contracts. The students then connect the ACI fabric to external layers 2 and 3 devices. The lab then finishes with ACI micro-segmentation inside an EPG to show a zero-trust model. Unlike Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 1, which uses a simulator due to resource sharing with other students, this lab uses the latest ACI hardware and allows the student to test real-world data plane connectivity inside and outside the fabric.

This lab is the Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 1, and after completion, the student can launch Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 2 to complete the entire lab. The lab uses the ACI virtual simulator based on ACI Version 6.1(3f), emulating an APIC, 2 leafs, and a spine. Part 2 uses a shared physical ACI fabric to complete the policy and verify data plane connectivity. The ACI Virtual Simulator was needed to demo the building of the ACI fabric from scratch, bootstrapping the APIC, adding the spine and leafs, fabric discovery, and completing VMM integration. Since the Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab, Part 2 is a shared on-demand environment, to decouple the APIC build process from the APIC policy creation. Due to limitations, the virtual ACI fabric is a control plane-only simulator, and no data plane testing (Ping, SSH) can get done for validation. Cisco ACI Fundamentals Lab Part 2 uses a Tenant inside of a physical ACI, and data plane functionality can get tested ( Ping, SSH)

This hands-on lab walks you through building a multi-protocol IPv6 network from the ground up. You will configure OSPFv3, EIGRPv6, and eBGP routing, including route summarization, filtering, default routing, and redistribution between protocols. The lab concludes with IPv6 transition technologies such as NAT64 and IPv6 tunneling over IPv4, providing hands-on experience with real-world IPv6 deployment scenarios.

The Check Point SD-WAN lab is a hands-on environment designed to teach how Quantum SD-WAN is configiured over an existing environment that deploys Check Point security gateways . You will explore a distributed topology that includes branch sites with multiple ISP connections, centralized management, and simulated internet and MPLS transport, then configure SD-WAN objects tunnels & monitor various parameters. The lab also emphasizes operational workflows, including policy deployment, validation, & monitoring.

This lab provides exposure to the new technology and capabilities of the Arista products used. This lab introduces the Arista Cloud Vision Portal(CVP) and includes 3 VXLAN EVPN scenarios based on best practices from the Arista design guides, ACE3 course material and Arista TAC support the Arista EOS forum posts. There are many different ways to create an Arista-based VXLAN EVPN fabric; these 3 lab scenarios presents 1) a migration phase from a standard 3 tier VLAN and SVI-based network to a VXLAN fabric, 2) using Asymmetrical IRB and 3)Symmetrical IRB. BGP routing is the underlay, overlay, and connectivity to the remote data center under migration. This sandbox and configs can be further used to explore other configurations and functionality of Arista CVP.

Arista CloudVision provides a centralized, model-driven platform for deploying, managing, and extending VXLAN EVPN fabrics using Studios. In this hands-on lab, you will use CloudVision to build and operate a VXLAN EVPN leaf-spine fabric across multiple sites while maintaining consistent policies, visibility, and control. The lab begins with onboarding, switches into CloudVision, and assigns roles using Studios. You will then configure MLAG for high availability, set up VXLAN EVPN underlay and overlay parameters, and map VLANs to VNIs to enable multi-tenant segmentation and workload connectivity. Next, you will implement inter-VRF routing and route leaking using EVPN and BGP constructs. Finally, the lab extends the design into a VXLAN EVPN Multi-Site architecture, integrating multiple fabrics under a unified control and policy framework. This lab demonstrates how CloudVision and Studios simplify the deployment, operation, and lifecycle management of complex VXLAN EVPN fabrics, providing centralized visibility, consistent configuration, and scalable multi-site operations.

Cisco's Nexus Dashboard Orchestrator (NDO) allows an ACI policy to be managed with a single pane of glass to for the whole environment. The key to NDO, the administrator is able to create consistent security and connectivity policies across multiple physical, and virtual sites. This lab will go through all the steps necessary to bring up an ACI Multi-Site environment from two existing ACI fabrics.
