Build your skills the right way — with FREE labs, workbooks, and config files you can actually use. Whether you’re preparing for the CCNA, CCNP, or just want to get hands-on, you’ll find everything you need right here.

Do This First

Before jumping into the fun stuff, let’s set up your tools. This guide walks you through everything — from installing VMware to firing up your first EVE-NG lab. It’s quick, simple, and beginner-friendly.

IPv6 Static Routing

CCNA / CCNP

Basic

IPv6 Static Routing

This lab involves configuring and troubleshooting IPv6 static routing in a simulated environment. The network consists of two routers (R1 and R2) connected via an Ethernet link, with each router having a directly connected LAN.
Troubleshooting Router-on-a-Stick (ROAS) Issues

CCNA

Intermediate

Troubleshooting Router-on-a-Stick (ROAS) Issues

A company has implemented ROAS for inter-VLAN routing. However, users are reporting that they cannot communicate between VLANs. The network administrator must troubleshoot the router, switch, and host configurations to resolve the issues.
Troubleshooting Default Route Issues

CCNA

Intermediate

Troubleshooting Default Route Issues

A company’s IT team is receiving reports that internal devices cannot reach the internet. The administrator must investigate default route settings, check if the default gateway is properly assigned, and test connectivity after fixing the routing issues.
Troubleshooting Common OSPF Issues

CCNA / CCNP

Intermediate

Troubleshooting Common OSPF Issues

A company is experiencing intermittent OSPF issues where some routers fail to form adjacencies or routes do not propagate correctly. The administrator must identify and fix the misconfigurations preventing stable OSPF operation.

CCNA

Intermediate

Dual-Stack (IPv4 & IPv6) on Routers

This lab focuses on configuring and verifying Dual-Stack (IPv4 & IPv6) on Routers, allowing IPv4 and IPv6 to operate simultaneously. The network consists of two routers (R1 and R2) and two clients (PC1, PC2), with each device having both an IPv4 and IPv6 address.

CCNA

Beginner

SOHO Ethernet LAN Design

Design a real-world SOHO Ethernet LAN from scratch — just like you’d do on your first networking job. This beginner-friendly lab walks you through device setup, IP addressing, and full connectivity verification using

CCNA

Advanced

Multiswitch VLAN with Router-on-a-Stick and Trunk Links

Ever wondered how different departments in a company stay separate — but still talk to each other when needed? In this lab, you’ll build a real-world VLAN setup across two switches and connect them to a router using trunk links and sub-interfaces. It’s where VLANs meet routing — just like in real enterprise networks.

CCNA

Beginner

VLAN Configuration on Cisco Switch

Start here if you’re new to VLANs. In this lab, you’ll create and assign VLANs on a single switch — learning how to segment your network and organize devices like a pro. It’s the foundation for everything VLAN-related.

CCNA

Intermediate

Logical IP Routing in a Multi-Router Network

This lab takes you beyond the basics of static routing. You’ll connect multiple routers and configure logical IP routes between them, simulating how real businesses route traffic across different locations or departments. A great practice before jumping into dynamic routing protocols like OSPF.

Start in 3 Simple Steps

You’re just 15 minutes away from your first real lab.

Step One — Install EVE-NG

Download VMware Player and run the ready-made EVE-NG OVA. No setup headache. Just install and go.

Step Two — Import a Lab

Pick any free lab above, download the files, and import them into EVE-NG.

Step Three — Start Building

Open the workbook, follow the steps, and get your hands on real gear.

No stress. No theory-first. Just do it lab-by-lab. If you get stuck — we’re right here to help.
