Mike and MICE-Discuss,
Side topic based on Mike's comments. Hardware labs of course require gear,
but Arista also distributes EOS as veos-lab. This is EOS as a VM.
Typically, you can put 8 front panel interfaces on the VM and use your
hypervisor's virtual switches to connect them together. Now, a vswitch as
interswitch link has a few caveats, but this is a great way to learn EOS
and work with some of the features that has made us a network engineer's
friend.
Let me know if we can start a thread to discuss this further or if anyone
wants to organize a virtual event to help MICE members build veos labs on
ESXi, Ravello, vbox, or other hypervisor or platform like EVE-NG or even
GNS3. I have personal experience with all but GNS3.
Thanks everyone!
