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! -Corey On Thu, Jul 27, 2017 at 9:08 AM Mike Horwath <drechsau@geeks.org> wrote:

I favor MICE finding a way to add these to the exchange.
I concur.
I also have a lab that would love some Arista gear so I can get more knowledge on how it all works vs just reading things :) (not kidding on the lab, kidding on the request)
