NEWS & EVENTS

Thank you for choosing NETLAB+ to support your educational programs.  We are pleased to make you aware of a new addition to our supported topologies for NETLAB+ VE, the release of the Cisco Packet Tracer – v8 Pod.

The Cisco Packet Tracer – v8 Pod provides access to Packet Tracer Workbench. Cisco Packet Tracer is an excellent tool for building the skill sets needed for programming and configuring Cisco routers, switches, and access points. Using NETLAB+, users can access and use Packet Tracer remotely, eliminating the need for learners to install Packet Tracer on their individual devices.

See information on installing the Cisco Packet Tracer – v8 Pod.

See the Packet Tracer 8 page for documentation resources to guide you in setting up a course in Cisco Netacad, instructions on scheduling a lab session, and guidance on accessing Packet Tracer Workbench from a lab session.

This topology is available to all NETLAB+ customers with a current maintenance agreement who are participants in the Cisco Networking Academy.

NDG is pleased to announce the following addition to our supported curriculum content options for NETLAB+ VE.

NDG Ethical Hacking (Series-2) v2 – NDG Ethical Hacking v2, developed by NDG, focuses on one of the most challenging sectors of cybersecurity. This series of labs is designed to provide hands-on experience conducting a variety of ethical hacking practices. These skills can help prepare trainees for a variety of IT positions, including: Cybersecurity Analyst, Penetration Tester, Ethical Hacker-Security Engineer, IT Security Specialist, Cybersecurity Engineer, and Information Security Engineer. See additional information on the NDG Ethical Hacking v2 Series-1 (previously released) and Series-2 labs.

NDG Ethical Hacking v2 (Series-1 and Series-2) labs are supported in NETLAB+ using the NDG Ethical Hacking v2 Pod. Series-2 labs make use of a WinOS VM; a WinOS VM is not necessary to perform the Series-1 labs. The topology may be configured with or without a WinOS VM, depending on whether you plan to use the Series-2 labs. See the NDG Ethical Hacking v2 Pod page and the release notes for details.

NDG is pleased to announce the following lab library has been added to our supported curriculum content options for NETLAB+ VE.
