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.
