PNETLab – new network simulation platform

Came to know through a colleague about this refreshing new platform called PNETLab. This is a much more polished cousin of EVE-NG.

Having spent large part of lockdown learning with EVE-NG on GCP, this was the best thing to come across.

Free lab bundles

Main feature for me are the downloadable labs which contain not only the topology but the required OS images as well, everything in one bundle.

I’ve deployed it on GCP by following the documentation on their website [link].

It was a pleasure having spent 8 hrs yesterday with this platform working through an OSPF lab. Most impressed with the interface and the fact that it is full featured unlike EVE-NG free version.

Summary

Not having to deal with the clunky, dated interface of EVE-NG is a win in itself. I simply can’t recommend PNETLab enough!

Special thanks to my friend Arjun for the introduction.
